Why am I not surprised that Aljazeera would back the idea that the WWII Japanese Terrorists were simply "defending" themselves.

General Tojo should be reminded to people for the evil he has committed.

First Mussolini's granddaughter, now Tojo's. Good thing Hitler never had any kids, or we'd be hearing from them too!

Well, she's family, what else is she going to say?
There's any number of films portraying the brutality of the Japanese to our POW's. That's the main reason why her granddaddy was executed.

Ping.
Leatherneck: Article mentions Peleliu. If ya can post a pic or two I sent ya, that would be great. I don't have the capacity to do it.
My son went to Peleliu last year for the 60th anniversary and Ms. Tojo was there too. She spoke breifly. What surprised my son was how some of the vets who managed to leave the island of Peleliu in 1944 alive, held no hard feelings against her grandfather. Odd.

Japan was being held back by the ABCD line of America, Britain, China and the Dutch, who had together imposed an economic embargo, so there was no choice. Held back from what--attack and conquest of their neighboring countries?
Everyone (especially free traders) should remember that Japan was a medieval country that didn't cause any trouble until we got them to trade with us.
