Ever wonder why, in 1950, we quit searching for Japanese war criminals but still today hunt down Nazis?

And it’s also no mystery why the Chinese, to this day, detest the Japanese.

A former friend of mine lit into me on the 70th anniversary of the Hiroshima bomb. He said it was a tragedy against humanity blah blah and it was totally unnecessary.

I educated him on the savage nature of the Japanese going back to their invasion of southern China and Korea in the late 30’s. Then he got a lesson the fire bombing of Tokyo and Yokohama, that made no point on their leaders who continued the savagery.

He was not aware but was when I was done.

I love Japan and the Japanese. For 30 years, I did much of my business there and made many friends. But the Japanese of those pre-war and WW2 days were incredibly brutal and inhumane.

We don't.

The Israelis do but in their case it is personal.

We also let a lot of Germans off the hook because we didn’t want to turn them totally against us after the war. We used them to soften the blow of Communism on Europe.

No, I don’t why we quit searching for Japanese war criminals.

I do, but I cannot state why..... We let the Japanese that ran the medical experimentation escape justice.
