There are several awesome books on the last days of Imperial Japan. Unfortunately there are few good ones on the phenomena of national suicides.

When you employ inhuman tactics, be not surprised when your enemy regards you as less than human.

Applies to the war on terror also. Only insane libs don’t get it.

“Several atomic bombs’’? Two is now considered ‘’several’’?

The reason why there are few great books on national suicides is that few witnesses make for few great books.

The Japanese had an emperor. We have Congress: http://www.corbettreport.com/corbett-report-radio-055-the-tiny-dot-with-larken-rose/

“The members of Congress are nothing more than a speck next to the masses of people that they supposedly “represent.” Why, then, do the masses care what they say? Why do they invest so much time and energy campaigning for or against this or that tiny dot? Why do they ask the tiny dot for permission to do what they want, and why do they give in when the dot denies it to them?”
