Academics around the world,including some in Japan who haven`t been blinded by the nationalistic rhetoric that is shoved down the populations throats,all agree that Japan was wrong and it was not justified.
Having lived in Japan for just over half my life and graduating from uni in Japan I think I can say I know what I`m talking about.
Leave personal opinions out of these kinds of arguements unless you know all the facts.

graduating from a university in japan, doesn't make you right with the idea that you knew better than what was the entire reasons. isn't it obvious? those were dark days. leaders decided to put the people's lives at risk, waging war against others, over that big factor, PRiDE. let's keep our heads high. and let's wage war... it's a good move to block these things for somehow you'll realize that these ideology | facts are being erased from the minds of the masses, who didn't have to do with those things in the first place. the sins of their fathers shouldn't be passed on to their children. these are facts yes, but this should never hinder you from changing your opinion regarding a culture you knew one year and a half in your life. men alone can't find themselves, where they should be, till the very dying day they are into. facts? you want facts? look around you. greed is everywhere. america had their methods to choke a nation to submission, japan had their methods of retaliation. know that any creature you try to hurt will assume survival stance, a some people got in the way.nd they will fight. what more than to cripple something that they new poses a big threat to their existence? it's human nature. or any living creature. nations even. we had our own fair share. while you were far from the total war that's been occuring in these areas, our nations [east asian countries] suffers from it. just let it die. it's history, but it isn't one that we should cherish. even if your diploma tells you that "YOU HAVE LEARNED IT", then maybe it's time you learn to just let this go. different people, different lives, some find passion with learning things from other culture. let them be. anime or animation. japanese arts and crafts, or whatever. this are not the people you should attack... and don't wonder why people won't retaliate.

ok... and they attack iraq? i don't see the connection. but let me give you an idea and then you put together things... ok? i mean you're well versed and a good thinker, as i'm reading.
do you know how hard it is to get "visa for america?" how the hell did they let those things happen? second, no conspiracy or anything. i can see the planes... yes sure. but world trade center? attacked? how did this happen? internal things. why should these happen? caught off-guard? why? if this were mathematical equations, then do the math. who's fault is it? shouldn't your government be concern of your country's foundation? which is the safety of your people. i have nothing against these soldiers, unless they act heartless and maniacs towards civilians or their enemies. you fight your cause, they will your theirs. expect that.
but like i said, read above if you have to.
oh and let's keep this intellectual and shove aside foul languages. spiros, tenchu and iamkira. let's keep it intellectual. spiros, since you have a good college background, educated, use it.
