While I can grasp the concept of a just war, I am truly unable to understand what drives some people to seek total dominance over others. I myself am capable of killing in self-defense or the defense of others, but have no desire to take anything away from others at gunpoint. When I think of actual combat, I think of the death, the maiming, the sorrowing families and friends. There is no glory in it. Terrible, terrible waste. :( Debbi __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

(Not a rhetorical question, BTW) Must be an Urban Myth, as the Germans cancelled all heavy bomber projects. The Germans had no force projection outside of Europe. Their Navy would have to deal with the Royal Navy before dealing with the growing and potent US Navy. Thanks for the clarification; some of what I know in history turns out to be an exaggeration or misrepresentation. My point is that Germany was as much a threat to the US in WWII as they were in WWI. Japan was far more a threat, able to project naval power and actually pose a credible threat to the US. Yet we declared Germany to be the greater threat, something I think the Roosevelt administration wanted to do long before Pearl. I only read a little bit of the linked article(s) about Japanese biowarfare/experimentation [how anyone who calls themselves a physician could participate in - hell, *design* - such monstrous projects is incomprehensible]; I think the impact of some project like Cherry Blossom... would be more 'terror' than actual damage, but the psych blow would be considerable.
