Yeah, right.
People nowadays seem to forget or they apparently never knew that during World War Two, Imperial Japan’s armed services were the al Qaeda of that era.
They though it was the greatest thing in the world to die for their Emperor. We finally found that we had to fight them to win and did so when we showed them that if they all wanted to die for their Emperor, we would accommodate them with atomic weapons.
To defeat al Qaeda and the growing world of Islamic terrorists dead set on killing all of us as a religiously necessary Jihad, we need to fight them the same way and if necessary, use nuclear weapons before they use nuclear weapons on us.
Go Japan, show Red China how the cow chews the curd— Heavens knows our current resident in the White House won’t.
What “force” does Japan have to stop the Chinese incursion?
China is cruising for a bloody nose with most of it neighbors.
I still say we should stop trade with it dead in it’s tracks.
We’ll see just how successful China is with no traders from around the planet.
Something tells me now is not the time for Japan to start to practice its ancient ways.
2)It's easy to forget by looking at our own Left how militant, nationalist, and "patriotic" Communist regimes can be. I sometimes wonder if flower-throwing pacifist hippies and North Korea really do share the same ideology. I'm sure even in a Communist America (G-d forbid!) they'd disarm us and have us kowtowing to everyone. No patriotism for the "socialist motherland" for us!
3)And again, if it weren't for Harry Truman's State Department China would have been a friendly power all these years. Great job, Marshall and Acheson! [/sarcasm]
