Or to put it syllogistically: 1. Japanese do not lie. 2. The soldiers who sacked Nanjing were Japanese. 3. These Japanese soldiers say they were just chasing Chinese soldiers, and never killed or raped any civilians. 4. Conclusion: There was no rape of Nanjing. There we have it, QED. No Chinese civilians were killed. No Chinese girls were raped. No massacre occurred. Most Chinese people even welcomed the Japanese troops with garlands of flowers and confetti. All those eyewitnesses who claimed that a massacre occurred were hallucinating. Or they were dupes of commie propaganda. And that recent documentary (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanking_(film)) - well, it's just a shameless effort by Hollywood to cash in with some more cheap Japan-bashing. Ah, how refreshing to learn the truth at last! A mind is a terrible thing to waste....
