I apologise for any overly forthright statements I put forward. I'm not a guy on any sting operation to catch anybody out. I was OTT, sorry.

As for Hiroshima, the bomb shouldn't have been used against civilians and it's as simple as that. How many times should we pay for the lunacy of our politicians? I was told by an old Japanese man in the Peace Park, 'chiero, bakayaro, Amerika-jin ga kirai dayo'. I told him, 'boku ha Amerika-jin ja nai yo, Skotorrando-jin desu. He then apologised profusely and I told him that the genbaku domu was tragic indeed. The sentiments are still there in some.

Komitsuki, good point. War sells though. Why do you think Britain has just pledged to stay in Afghanistan for 40 years? Nobody can tell me that troops from 42 countries from around the world, together with the help of the ANA with local knowledge, cannot overcome a group of bearded, old men in the Taliban. America has become so controlled that they allow firms to profit and to hell with the American reputation abroad. I know Americans whom I worked with in Japan change the flags from American to Canadian on their rucksacks. Why should they be guilty by association?

Ryzorian is also right in point 192. Mutual respect is not authentic and bona fide. It's all about building the PNAC visions as tactfully as possible.
