    Seiharinokaze,

    Do you really believe that the second Japanese-Chinese war was to be explained in such a simple narrative as Kodoha spirit being ingrained in the military junior officers to make them insubordinate?

    No, I never said it completely explained it. However, you admitted it contributed to it with your…

    smithinjapan,

    Yes, I agree. 'Hypocritical' is an even better word to describe it.

    Saudi King Abdullah—who heads the ultra-orthodox Wahhabi branch of Islam and allows no other form of public worship—called for “peace and harmony.”

    I think this is a nominee for the most ironic statement of the year. Let's have peace and harmony amongst the different religions, but don't you dare practice…

    Even better solution - stop using religion to blame others for your problems.

    Well, this is always better than their usual shooting journalists in the head.

    Proof please of journalists being shot in the head being 'usual', please.

    They forgot to mention that before this truce violation, the Israelis committed several violations.

    You forgot to mention that both sides have violated various truces.…

    Seiharinokaze,

    How could they have held almost all political power in 1930's and pursued policies that eventually led Japan to fight the second Sino-Japanese War and World War II?

    Kodoha may have lost "control" of the army. However their beliefs in the spiritual power and mysticism of the Emperor was…

    "sabiwabi",

    I continue to find it fascnating that you find attempting to convince people to disbelieve the world around more important than actually discussing the details of the world around us.

    You see, I know exactly where your focus is and has been for the last three years or so…

    Seiharinokaze,

    I find your questions rather strange. If you think someone is specifically incorrect. Why not just point out just where you think this is so? For example, you mentioned above that the description is incorrect, yet you do not specifically mention how it is so. Are you expecting notimpressed…

    "sabiwabi",

    Starviking has done an excellent job of discussing the essay, as you have admitted. Why is it that you cannot specifically address Starviking's analysis? It seems you have not thought through your arguments.

    Certainly, but I too come from one of the countries where he claimed wartime Japan had a good reputation. We all had relatives who were saved by the occupation and we would like to express our great appreciation to the Japanese people. ; )

    Cute...perhaps you wouldn't mind sharing the…
