To be nonviolent to human beings and to be a killer or enemy of the poor animals is Satan's philosophy. In this age there is enmity toward poor animals, and therefore the poor creatures are always anxious. The reaction of the poor animals is being forced on human society, and therefore there is always the strain of cold or hot war between men, individually, collectively or nationally. At the time of Maharaja Yudhisthira, there were no different nations, although there were different subordinate states. The whole world was united, and the supreme head, being a trained king like Yudhisthira, kept all the inhabitants free from anxiety, diseases and excessive heat and cold. They were not only economically well-to-do, but also physically fit and undisturbed by supernatural power, by enmity from other living beings and by disturbance of bodily and mental agonies. There is a proverb in Bengali that a bad king spoils the kingdom and a bad housewife spoils the family. This truth is applicable here also. Because the King was pious and obedient to the Lord and sages, because he was no one's enemy and because he was a recognized agent of the Lord and therefore protected by Him, all the citizens under the King's protection were, so to speak, directly protected by the Lord and His authorized agents. Unless one is pious and recognized by the Lord, he cannot make others happy who are under his care. There is full cooperation between man and God and man and nature, and this conscious cooperation between man and God and man and nature, as exemplified by King Yudhisthira, can bring about happiness, peace and prosperity in the world. The attitude of exploiting one another, the custom of the day, will only bring misery.

This 'firestorm' bombing was probably the best thing that could have happened. If a full scale invasion of Japan had have occured, millions of people, both Japanese and Allied would have died.

no i dont think the firing bombing of cities was ever justified

but i think the us did well against the islands where japanese soldiers occupied

japanese army and people were very racist. they committed many crimes in the places they occupied.

i am glad the usa destroyed the japanese empire and army.

" ...........killer or enemy of the poor animal........."

Pure animal-rights blather !

The, " Save a cow ", poster of these videos forgets that lions eat zebras, crocks eat wildebeasts, wolves eat deer, and man eats hamburger !

That's the way it is/ has always been.

If he doesn't want to, but chooses to kill asparagus instead, fine.

But don't tell others what they can and cannot eat !

Otherwise, a fine video depicting what the Japanese gov. and army deserved.

Civilians died just like in Nanking

Most of the educated people know now that America wanted Japan to start war. Sadly history repeats. Only bankers and bomb merchants keep making money, we all hate each other, race to race, keep slaving to greedy monsters. They make money by our hatred. Enemies are created by war choreographer. May peace in the world! Love and respect instead of hatred.

@Studio53Productions Each war establishes its own rules. Had Germany & Japan not bombed cities | mass slaughtered locals, complaints as respects the US campaign might be considered. Compare Allied: Axis civilian deaths; a 10:1 ratio argues against considering the US effort nefarious.

@LeBaron21 The best thing that could have happened? it didn't end the war! If you're going to use the utalitarian argument- at least get it right.

Firestorming was used to demoralise the enemy- it simply didn't work. It just killed thousands horrifically.

The utalitarian argument of the greater good is related to the dropping of little boy over Hiroshima. Please learn some history.

@P1B1U1H1 that is the worst justification i've ever heard. 'bombing cities was part of ww2'?

The Wanton Destruction of cities was already written into international law and thus was illegal during the ww2. Regardless, this was gotten around as it was targetting legitimate military installations around population centres. The firebombing of Dresden and Tokyo was a strategy 100% to kill and demoralise. Not only that it was to kill civilians. Unjustifiable.

John Dower and other Pacific war historians pretty much agree and state that in their words "the japanese imperial army had committed heinous and horrific crimes against civilians on a massive scale and therefore the japanese had gone beyond the pale and thus moral and ethical considerations in combatting the japanese were jettisoned by the Allies".

The statement above simply stated that what the Allies unleashed on japan was brought on by the japanese themselves.

@argonne5 The firebombing was the only way to win. Otherwise, it would have meant untold millions of civilian Japanese deaths.
