    The premise discussed above is a cornerstone to US Foreign Policy in the Pacific, so former ASDF chief Toshio Tamogami's assertion will be heavily countered, but not examined.

    Tamogami's assertion is already heavily countered without being examined not so much because it is grossly wide of the truth as…

    I cannot agree with him on his point that Japan was not an aggressor. Japan was an aggressor with reasons. But what interests me most in this mess is Tamogami virtually stressing the fact that Japan is no more than a subject state to the US under the framework of…

    Kodoha may have lost "control" of the army. However their beliefs in the spiritual power and mysticism of the Emperor was deeply ingrained in the army. It was these beliefs and the Kodoha practice of insubordination by junior officers that made a reappearance with the second Japanese-Chinese War started…

    On this forum, Seiharinokaze's preferred strategy is to nitpick about all the details (see above) and get you bogged down in an illogical debate, so don't bother with it.

    Then why bother if you think so?
    I just think we should have a basic understanding of facts for discussing history…

    So you say it's still correct. The military clique (called Kodoha 皇道派 or the Imperial Way) that attempted the coup in Feb. 1936 and their proponents in the military were expelled from the mainstream of the military after the coup. How could they have held almost all political power…

    The coup resulted in the murder of a number of high government and Army officials, and was put down with Hirohito angrily assuming a major role in confronting them. Still, from the 1930s on, the military clique held almost all political power in Japan, and pursued policies that eventually…

    That same extremist minority was the same one that staged a coup, to get in control, and then do whatever it wanted, at the detriment to the people of Asia, including the ordinary citizens of Japan, the majority of which don't believe the fairytales such as you and Tamogami.…

    In Obama's case, they (the puppeters) chose him to bring about world forgiveness for the US after having wiped out trillions of dollar from the world in a subprime mortgage fiasco started by policies brought about during the Clinton/Greenspan years.

    I agree on most of what you wrote. But…

    ‘‘This is so important because too much laissez faire really cannot govern the situation,’’ Fujisaki said, referring to the cause of the ongoing crisis.

    I would rather tend to suspect what he suggests is that we should enlarge the trading market of CO2 credits as part of the efforts to find a way out of the present financial crisis. Trading of CO2 credits, as some people argue, is just another "derivative" contrived by using…
