And we hope they have fireworks. They started a war to take over the world, made frineds with the Nazi's, lost and we rebuilt their nation and for this, we are supposed to cry for them. Truman had the right idea, jsut too litlle, too late. Read the stories of Nankink and see if you want to bleed for the monkeys?

OK, I was a little rough on you, try gogoling "japanese unit 731" or for a sample try "http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-43977... ;

...Others had limbs amputated to study blood loss - limbs that were sometimes stitched back on the opposite sides of the body. Other victims had various parts of their brains, lungs or liver removed, or their stomach removed and their oesophagus reattached to their intestines.

Kamada, one of several veterans who felt able to speak out after the death of Emperor Hirohito, remembered extracting the plague-infested organs of a fully conscious "log" with a scalpel.

"I inserted the scalpel directly into the log's neck and opened the chest," he said. "At first there was a terrible scream, but the voice soon fell silent."

Other experiments involved hanging prisoners upside down to discover how long it took for them to choke to death, and injecting air into their arteries to test for the onset of embolisms.

SO LET US ALL CRY FOR THEM!

Some appear to have had no medical purpose except the administering of indescribable pain, such as injecting horse urine into prisoners' kidneys.

Then Japan launched Pearl Harbor II - The downfall of the Studabaker car and with it a war of not guns and blood, but economics and business that they have been winning stellar victories in ever since:
- Consumer Electronics Battle, Japan
- Automobile Battle, Japan
- Domestic Quality of Life Battle, Japan
Through predatory business operations, sabatoge of American companies through predatory business and their government/corporate sponsored domination, they continue with vigor their campaign
Don't expect Japan to hold a American Manufacturing and Innovation Day of commemoration in Tokyo
Why celebrate

Japan brought this upon itself. I feel no need to celebrate the end of a war that we didn't start, and they brought to our shores. We ended that war in the manner, style and method of our choosing. It saved countless lives of American servicemen, so it was the right choice then, and would be again today.

I guess they are trying to rewrite history. The Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, that's why Hiroshema was bombed. None of those events were proud days for either country and should be learned from, not commemorated.
