Dear Thread:

While the statement that I made may arouse anger, I did not make that statement lightly. I have never met a single grandparent, aunt, uncle or cousin due to the fallout of the Japanese invasion of China, WW II and the subsequent communist takeover. As one who has been robbed of a family by wars, I know full well what my statement means, and it was meant as an intellectualized comparison of then and now, and how it affects the ability of the nation to strike back.

If you want it in plain English, here it is:

Back then, we knew the enemy. Now the enemy is faceless. Back then, the U.S. ultimately made the Japanese people pay the price by dropping two nuclear bombs on Japanese soil. Now it won't be so easy, like it was back then.
