Just about time to wrap it up. I may look in later in the evening, having put some things "out there". Otherwise, tomorrow.....

I think in the annals of history, we have less to worry about with regards to bombing Japan, than we do in existing at a time when hundreds of millions are murdered by their government. There is no moral justification for it. And it is easy to come up with excuses, but the fact is this bloodshed occured on our watch. edit: I am not saying America is responsible. We sacrificed a lot to the Cold War, and won. I am just thinking that in hindsight, what a terrible and hollow victory. I do not think that it was unforseeable that that would happen. And that a preemptive strike to save hundreds of millions would be considered imperialistic. edit again: I mean a terrible victory, in the sense that so many were needlessly killed. Of course, it is the greatest victory in the history of mankind, IMO. I am not complaining that we won. Just that that is a lot of blood. And we should study our role, and maybe learn from it so we can help make sure this type of war can not be faught again. China was a tragic and very unnecessary loss to communism. For that, I have read that Marshall is mostly to blame. Truman was a courageous man, surrounded by commies. But, he absolutely knew about them. And promoted White for the IMF presidency. And Truman, may be forgiven. As long as McCarthey is villianized, I am sure that is true. And I have seen some articles on SI lately, about Reagan and how he knew McCarthey was right. To forgive Truman, is to delegitimize Reagan, I think. But Reagan won. I am very impressed with your analysis of Africa. But, I am unconvinced that most of the problems are not a result of Marxist influence. -- Message 16110566 Black Marxists' Inhuman Cruelty To Fellow Black Africans By Jan Lamprecht pbs@iafrica.com c. 2001 Jan Lamprecht All Rights Reserved 5-14-1 Note - The following is an excerpt of Mr. Lamprecht's forthcoming book on the terror and tribulations of South Africa entitled 'Government By Deception.'
