Ping for later...
Not every mass murdering vermin in WW2 was a Nazi.
This from the country who’s war criminals boasted they ate prisoner’s livers? Read Fly Boys, or better yet, go here: http://www.archives.gov/iwg/japanese-war-crimes/introductory-essays.pdf
Looking up at the top desk shelf...
Nope never seen any evidence of this atrocity thing.

Hmm so it is the film maker’s position that Japanese Imperial Army officers never led any massacres of POW’s and civilians?
As an American, I can recall he Bataan Death March and some of the History behind it, so for me, the Japanese have -0- credibility at playing at apologetics for some of the things that they did in the name of their Emperor.....
Well, Hey, we got guys cranking out “Lions for Lambs”, “Rendition” and “Redacted”.
A least he didn't compare them to The Beatles...
And who says mass murder denial is just for neo-nazis?
You make a very good point there, I hope history is as harsh to them as it will be to this idiot.
US Navy Admiral “Bull” Halsey: (after the attack) “Before we’re through with them the Japanese language will be spoken only in hell”.
The next military balance of power shift in Asia will see Japan serving as China’s bitch in a manner equal to or greater than Japan’s treatment of Chinese and Korean civilians during WWII.
The Japanese never admit blame.

Does anyone know of a reliable reason for Iris Chang’s suicide?
I blame em.............war POS’s
Add the hideous “Valley of the Elah” to that list. This one has the raping murdering American troops AND a Jewish organ stealing doctor. Big hit in the islamic world.
The short answer is "depression", but that's a trite and superficial pretext of an explanation.
I will always believe that it was because the sheer depth and immensity of the evil and depravity in which she immersed herself in order to do her research simply overwhelmed her...
Her suicide was such a tragedy. :-(
I agree. I also think that her acute sensitivity to injustice throughout her life, even as a child, magnified the despair she felt for persecuted people.
Writers in Davis, CA told me she suffered from bipolarism.
People fail to understand that national or racial guilt is something confined almost entirely to white Western nations. Even very educated, intelligent, and cultured nations such as Japan have large numbers of people (even elected officials) who deny past atrocities. And the rest of the population is mostly of the opinion that even if things like Bataan and Nanking did occur (which they did) they’re old history and we should just forget about it.
It’s totally unlike the West, where we wallow in our past sins, real and in many cases imagined.
I love Japan and the Japanese people. But these crimes did occur and they should admit to it.
