TJ whines about Japanese bringing civilization to China yet is Gung Ho for the same civilization [20 years and more later] in Tibet: <During the Cultural Revolution, Red Guards, which included Tibetan members, inflicted a campaign of organized vandalism against cultural sites in the entire PRC, including Tibet's Buddhist heritage. Of the several thousand monasteries in Tibet, more than 6,000 are claimed to have been destroyed[8]. According to at least one Chinese source, only a handful religiously or culturally most important monasteries remained without major damage,[73], and thousands of Buddhist monks and nuns were killed, tortured or imprisoned.[74] >
Do you think said nuns had fun? I suppose, as you say, they were "liberated". en.wikipedia.org
Your "liberation" using bombs, guns, rockets and bulk murder of Taiwan would no doubt be similar. Sometimes, "liberated" people are appreciative of their rescuers who don't find it necessary to kill those they wish to liberate. For example German prisoners in concentration camps were liberated without being killed by Americans. Yet Tibetans "liberated" were killed by the liberators. You do have an interesting way of thinking about things.
