So wait, whats your point again? You seemed to be suggesting that we had no real reason to stop the Japanese from taking over the world which was clearly their ambition in the '40s. I suggested that their heavy handed system of occupation was pretty clear in China, stuff like war prisoners buried alive, using dead bodies for bayonet practice, the use of comfort women, etc.
This actually fits in with Craig's message earlier, the force used at Nagasaki and Hiroshima was massive but the Japanese had engaged in such a horrible war it was a justified use of force to stop a frankly crazy enemy force. Occupation is never a good thing but the US occupation of Japan can't in any way be compared with Japanese occupation of anywhere in any terms other than to say the US was as civilized as possible and the Japanese were horrible in general... -Curt Date: Mon, 9 Sep 2013 10:45:29 -0400 From: Gary Hurst <jabbahur...@gmail.com> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] buymbparts is dead drunk and rattling Message-ID: <CACioK3sDzSnmPj3Juza+_yufNuWfwxocJcrZ+GfhhsEY+kk=b...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 and many are not so thrilled with USA occupation. you'd figure maybe this would give a 3rd party, say russia, the right to nuke baltimore? you'd be satisfied with that or do your principle only apply to other and not the USA? you don't address the point i make anyway. it is absolutely pointless to engage in this discussion as there is no actual discussion _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
