One is known by one's deeds.
Sounds pretty heroic to me.
The ironic thing is that over the next fifty years if japan had maintained control over China and we had not liberated China millions less Chinese people would have died via murder and famine and torture and China would be a lot wealthier and modern today.
I thin we should let Japan at em again.
Well who knew?, a good Nazi.
"The Japanese soldiers "went about raping the women and girls and killing everything and everyone that offered any resistance, attempted to run away from them, or simply happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time," he wrote."
The rape of maintaining was horrible, but the reason the Chinese are reviving its memory now is to stir up fears of a possible Japanese military invasion at this time. This is driven, not by any Japanese desire to invade Japan, but by the need for Chinese leadership to distract the Chinese people from the devastating poverty that many are experiencing as a result of the new changes in China.
The Chinese are driving the Japanese into a stronger military stand by doing things like sending Chinese subs into Japanese territorial water. As the Japanese military posture, gets stronger, the Chinese government will fan these fears in the Chinese people.
It has always been a source of irritation to me that we let the Japanese slide compared to the justice we sought from the Nazis. We have former prisoners of war that are still trying to get justice after being used for slave labor by the japanese in WWII. We should be ashamed of our actions toward this country who initially bombed us and started us on the road to WWII.
And the Chicoms own up correctly to their own??
Japan * ping * (kono risuto ni hairitai ka detai wo shirasete kudasai : let me know if you want on or off this list)
I am not defending Japan but does China teach about the communist attrocities or is this a one-way street with them? /retorical question
Oskar Schindler was also a "card carrying" Nazi.
Not ALL of any group are bad, and not all of any group are good.
It's harder to be good when you're pressured to be bad: This seems to have been a very good man.
"The people of China will never forget the good German John Rabe..."
Anyone remember the good Jap? While ambasador to Hitler's Germany he issued protection papers to as many Jews as he could and when he ran out of official forms he issued them on common paper.
The pot calling the kettle black.
Oh, yeah, the United States military took over the country and changed things. Funny how that only worked one time. Too bad it would never apply to the Middle East.
Okay, so did I sound like a liberal on a talk show?
Pot, meet kettle...
