I respectfully disagree with yours.

Turning the other cheek is a profoundly personal choice. Institutionalizing it, or attempting to, is terminally offensive and presumptuous.

The only one talking about turning the other cheek is me for being falsely accused of being some liberal historical revisionist, which is about as far from the truth as could be. World War Two was a just war which was not entirely justly fought by the US and Britain. It goes without saying that it was not justly fought by the Germans and Japanese. We could have ended the war quicker and saved hundreds of thousands of lives had we accepted the Japanese conditional surrender in May 1945 instead of accepting the same (conditional) surrender terms in August 1945 after Russia had occupied northern China, northern Korea and northern Japan.

We would have won the Cold War a lot faster as well without a Communist controlled China to worry about that was an indirect result of our foolish policy of our stupid policy of accepting nothing less than Japan's unconditional surrender--a policy perpetrated by a couple of worthless immoral liberal Democrap Presidents--FDR and Truman. Perhaps a conservative Republican President would have had the moral forsight to do the right thing and accept an earlier Japanese surrender.
