  Blue Tiger: Here you go again with the inaccurate statements:

  and those 1965 "reparitions" were really no-intrest loans, which Japan required Korea and China to pay back. Hardly reparitions.

  The relevant point here between Japan and Korea is that around $500 million(the value in 1965) went to Korea for war…

  Blue Tiger: Regarding your comments to UnagiDon, a good place for you to start to rethink your opinion would be: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tripartite_Pact

  As for the comments directed at me, I do not agree with your numbers-the potential casualties on all sides are grossly inflated, IMHO. I also do not agree that…

  New Justice Minister Yasuoka supports death penalty

  I am glad that new Justice Minister Yasuoka intends to uphold the law, like Mr. Hatoyama did, instead of allowing personal feelings to get in the way as some previous Justice Ministers have.

  Do you get tired of all the news coverage of the A-bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki at this time each year?

  Yes, I do.

  U.S. President Harry S. Truman made the correct decision to authorize the atomic bombings of Japan and force this country to surrender. There was no reason…

  Attestation or prostration?

  The guy at the top right looks ticked off not to be in the front row.
