JM: If you say so, Minoru. After all, you are Japanese, and these were Japanese soldiers, so everything anyone else says about it must be a lie. MM: Thank you, John, for recognizing me finally as a Japanese. Why did it take you so long? I would not determine that it is a lie, unlessl I am given an evidence that I can believe. JM: 1. Japanese do not lie. MM: Who says so? Do I have to fear that I have to live forever? How horrible! JM: 3. These Japanese soldiers say they were just chasing Chinese soldiers, and never killed or raped any civilians. MM: I didn't say "and never killed or raped any civilians." Who says so? If they don't kill people, what are they for? US soldiers did killing and raping in Vietnam, I heard. They all do those things basically. JM: 4. Conclusion: There was no rape of Nanjing. MM: What is that? I know that it's a title of a book written by a Chinese-American woman. I believe that the book exists..I believe that she wrote much of it based on what she read. If I am not mistaken she could not have witnessed the incident as she wasn't born then. Chang Kai Shek's army had hired an European as a part of its war effort to work for their intelligence/propaganda department to make Japanese look barbarians more than they really were in order to make the Western world to be sympathetic so that it can obtain support. Those are the things that the woman read to wtire her story. JM: 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. MM: You can believe whatever you wish to believe like: "No Chinese civilians were killed. No Chinese girls were raped. No massacre occurred"(all your words, not mine). By the way, modern wars are basically all mssacres and hulucinating for us. People were burned to death alive in air raids in WWII as well as in Gaza in 2001.The only difference seems that some people write about those horrible things for a purpose, and countless people don't. . JM: 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. MM: I have no comment as I haven't see the movie, but you maybe right; it is probably just a shameless effort by Hollywood to cash in with some more cheap Japan-bashing (your words, not mine). JM: Ah, how refreshing to learn the truth at last! MM: Which truth? Is it really the truth? JM: A mind is a terrible thing to waste.... MM: Whose? Yours or mine?
