<the average Japanese does NOT know about Nanjing, >

Bubba the Babbling, how old do you think the average Japanese is?

When do you think the Nanjing Japanese attack was conducted?

Why do you think that the average Japanese should care?

It's ancient history as far as the average Japanese is concerned.

How much money has Japan given China - hint, it's something like $35 billion? How many times have various Japanese apologized for the militaristic attacks and viciousness?

Get over it Bubba. Unless you can catch the individuals who did vicious things, you might as well just forget about it. All over the world vicious things were done in the past. Even in China, there are plenty of living victims of Mao's Maelstrom but they aren't being compensated.

A young Japanese person in Shanghai has got nothing whatsoever to do with Nanjing cruelty. Attacking them shows the vicious and stupid nature of those involved in attacking Japan's embassy, Japanese businesses [or those with Japanese writing on them], or Japanese people.

I'm a lot more worried about those young, live, vicious, stupid, jingoistic, megalomaniac and violent Chinese males than a million long-dead vicious, stupid, jingoistic and megalomaniac, violent Japanese soldiers.

But if you want to, let's all choose sides, as they did in WWI, re-arm, stop doing useful things to promote peace, light, harmony, happiness, health, prosperity, longevity, fun and love, and get ready to repeat the slogan "Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat this cliche".

The GG [Good Guys] in the fight will be:

USA
Japan
Taiwan
New Zealand
Australia
South Korea
UK and NATO
Euros
India
Ukraine
Georgia
Afghanistan
etc

The BB [Bad Boys], in the fight will be:

China
Russia
North Korea
Syria
Yiwu the Mad
Bubba the Babbling
Hmmm, I can't think of any more just now but maybe there are some.
Oh yes, Cuba
Venezuela
South Africa
Zimbabwe
Iran [I forgot them...silly me]

This should be a jolly good war. WWIII, begun by Osama's 911 attack. Another war to end all wars. The casualty list should be enormous. With 6 billion people available to convert to CO2, the WWII efforts should look trivial. If H5N1 gets going at the same time, wheeeee.....

Let the Feather Duster manoeuvres begin.

Bring it on.
