>There was a really interesting program on Discovery this last weekend about Emperor Hirihito (sp?) and the war. The number they stated was that
millions of Chinese were killed by the Japanese. It was frightening the propoganda that was used to convince the Japanese soldiers to do the horrible things they did in the land they occupied.
There were recent outrages in China about the current Japanese textbooks - if they mention the atrocities at all, they talk about the "Nanking
incident".
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
