Lawrence, to further your admiration of the Japanese and their cute little war dreams,
read The Rape of Nan King by Iris Chang. I heard her discuss it and wish I hadn't. The
Japanese actually shocked the Nazis with their brutality. You might think that cute too.
How can you abominate one class of people while admiring another for doing at least as bad
or worse?

Lawrence, you don't think that was bizarre? Obviously not. You said it was cute. Cute
little tanks going boom boom, then going to bed. A regular bedtime story. No wonder the
Japanese were capable of Nan King. They obviously saw nothing wrong with it. It strikes
me as strange that you get all up in the air over Muslims torturing, but you admire a
population that did what it did in Nan King, which was far worse than what any Muslim has
done, beheadings included and think cute their reduction of tanks to a bedtime story (or
whatever that was). Is that a bit inconsistent? If they had half a chance, you don't
think they'd do Pearl Harbor all over again with those cute little tanks?

Occasionally after writing a note Ill have the vague impression that some Leftist or
Liberal will find something to criticize. I had that feeling about the note below. I
thought it might be in the category of neglecting some other nation like Australia, or
perhaps an indication that I was looking for trouble, but I didnt anticipate your
approach Omar: that you arent surprised that I like Japan since they are racist. Well,
there you go.
Lawrence
