The Japs should have been fire bombed a bit more.

His horrid experiences perhaps entitle him to hate a whole race of 127 million men, women and children--60 years later.

Unless you had similiar experiences, I don't think that entitles you to your (apparant) hatred of an entire race of people.

I don't need first hand experience about the Japs. I have served in South Korea and learned enough second hand from local retired veterans.
Its not a hatred I have. Its just prudent information to file away. Much as Winston Churchill learned about the United States Civil War, he used that information to benifit in WWII. You can learn from history or you can do it again and again etc.
Do you think our experience in Afganistan is going to be much differant from the Russians, British, or?
Do you think we can continue to have a Republic in the United States and still cater to every minority that feels slighted and intitled to take from the majority?
