Thank you for finally responding to my asking you to judge whether Imperial Japan fought for good or for bad.

Since these are substantive replies to my question, I will address each in turn;

Subsistence and security are not something to be morally judged, good or bad.

This statement…

The thing is, you are not telling the truth.

And Mod: fear not. I do not plan to turn this into a discussion of the Civil War, insofar as the any discussion thereof is relevant to my point on this thread.

They were fighting for what they thought was the right cause.

Perhaps. And perhaps not. Many men fought for many reasons.

The point is not whether they thought their cause was right.

You have replied, but have not addressed the content of my question.

I am asking you judge whether you think Imperial Japan fought for good or for bad.

Good. Because you are not the only one who has a relative who fought Imperial Japan.

I am still having trouble discerning an answer to my question.

I know what I think: Imperial Japan, along with her ally Nazi Germany, fought for bad. The US fought for good.

I wish to know what do you think. This is now the third time:

Do you think…

We all know that men & women all over the world cheat... it's no surprise...

I do not.

And it would be of great surprise, to say the least, if my wife did.

The crux of the issue is not whether people engage in extra-marital affairs.

They do.

The crux…
