Frankly, I could give a damn, other than for posterity and historical accuracy–and notice how you cleverly( like all of you phony right-wing-liberal Jew card tossers do–avoided the Stalin ‘thingy’).

I have an escape plan for next time you neo-Nazi’s and Jew-panderers get your groove on–you guys make it hard for all the rest of us with your endless black and white religious-race wars.

I have never met someone who says the type of thing you just said who isn’t 1) a wannabe Jew, or just Jew pandering, or 2) intentionally clueless.

Exactly what is a Jew hater anyways–Bobby Fischer? Freud?
How about Kissinger, and Wolfowitz? Do Jews have to be hard core Zionists or Mossad agent to qualify as Jewish these days?

Yeah, I guess in that context you are sort of right–you idiot.

I mean, counting deaths is one thing–but how do we count the destruction of cultures? Japanese women and Japanese society is relatively demolished right now.And it’s waaaay easy to say that they were evil during their expansion–but what drove their expansion? It’s notlike they cam looking for Judeo_christian culture first.

And really, this type of dialogue is bordering on semite baiting, and anti-semite responses, I think. The real issue of all this discussion of body counts, and political culpability for these wars, death, and mayhem is this: don’t ever ask if Jewish people were responsible too.It was always those half Jews, the Christians and now, the Muslims.

And all of that combined pales in comparison to death, holocaust and human rights violations under Kissinger’s development policies after the war, and the latest, Wolfowitz, et al. in the Middle east.

I mean, do Jewish people just conveniently show up at the highest seats of power, destruction and death when decision making time comes? Or is it one of those weird unexplainable phenomenon that we have to explore on the history channels “conspiracy week” broadcast?

and zackoz: war is a condition of society, not an isolated incident of periods of history. So how do you feel about the people who are dropping depleted uranium all over the middle east right now? It is even killing Jewish babies now.

When and at what time do we stop minimizing, comparing, and by virtue of that, enabling this idea that some life is less precious? That it is o.k. to rape them, but not for them to rape us? It’s counterproductive to peace, and real prosperity.

In “Among the Dead Cities”, A C Grayling makes a strong case for the both the immorality and the ineffectiveness of the Allied bombing of civilian targets in WW II.

“It was worse than a crime, it was a blunder.”

This is of course not to justify or condone the much worse things the Nazis and Japanese did.

Cites or STUFU. The Nanking Massacre resulted in 200,000 deaths, which would be more than the the firebombings of Toyko and Dresden combined. And that doesn’t count the three alls policy that the Japanese were pursuing on mainland china, or the freaking holocaust, for that matter.

The allies did do some truly awful things, but the imperial Japanese and the Nazis were almost cartoonish in their villainy.

The US government lied to its own people claiming that radiation does no harm. The British government detonated a number of bombs within Australia, with both the British and Australian governments assuring people that there are no harmful after-effects. Our own soldiers were exposed to incredible amounts of radiation in a number of tests after the war (and so were British soldiers). Then there were the mentally incapacitated Americans who were secretly fed radioactive material, yet more soldiers exposed to radiation to get some idea of how much a human could withstand – those were the good old days without a need for those “ethics committees” to approve experiments.

I hope someone takes those reels, copies and edits them and puts them out. What is seen in the few seconds put up in the links are people suffering severe burns to their bodies due to the incredible amount of energy put out at the moment of detonation. That’s only part of the story of course; the “fallout” is another part which is better documented elsewhere. I think that aside from the cover-ups (of which I thought many were already exposed by the likes of Einstein and even J.R.Oppenheimer), there’s also some denialism happening: “oh no, our government couldn’t have done *that*!”

Burchett’s reporting was unpopular with the U.S. military. U.S. censors killed a supporting story submitted by George Weller of the Chicago Daily News, and Burchett was accused of being under the sway of Japanese propaganda. William L. Laurence of The New York Times dismissed the reports on radiation sickness as Japanese efforts to undermine American morale.[2] Under General MacArthur’s orders, Burchett was for a time barred entrance to Japan. In addition, his camera mysteriously disappeared while he was documenting the persisting illness at a Tokyo hospital”
