I'm sorry that I offended you, MNR.
But merely describing what Japan did in China as "invading" is a gross mis-statement: the Japanese got their start on crimes against humanity in WW II long before the Nazis did.
(That being said, it should be noted that international standards have *fallen* since then. Look at the genocides in Rwanda and atrocities elsewhere in Africa, and all that happens is that pop stars record a hit song so they can say "they made a difference"...) Not to mention CNN playing Walter Duranty to Sadaam Hussein's Stalin, in order to maintain coverage rights in Iraq. Will future generations throw rocks at us for allowing these things to go unchallenged?
...and speaking of "unchallenged", you are quite right about Venturer. So let me respond to him as well:
You dipwad, you done and gone and went and made me flame the wrong person and get all into trouble.
Please note that Japan committed atrocities so beyond the pale in Nanking, that John Rabe (a Nazi party member during the sack of the city) ended up writing personally to ADOLPH HITLER on grounds for help, and got arrested by the Gestapo for his trouble.
Methinks Japan did a hell of a lot to deserve what they got.
(BTW, to both of you. When the the Flying Tigers start in Burma?)

I never made you flame anyone you did a good job of that all on your own.
I see you are sorry for offending MNR, but you don’t mind tossing a sh*t sandwich my way.
No problem,,I am used to it.
And Yes we all read the Rape of Nan King.
