Lets salute the Nazis while we're at it....might as well add in Charles manson....lol

I never understood why Japan has to define itself by its past empire and its military regime, if it's done, it's done. War cannot be celebrated in any way. Soldiers died for this, let them die in peace, don't go to pray every August 15th in order to celebrate their death. And think about others, these Taiwanese or Korean who are drafted by force and died, they are not Japanese， you just enshrine them by force. Be tolerant to people's choice and respect to your Asian neighbors!

I don't report him to CIA or NSI because I'm not an American citizen and he is not representing us.

Tojo Hideaki ? Who is that ?

@2008venom

LOL you're really funny. Has US Rep. Mike Honda been hired by Chinese communist? Why don't you report him to CIA or NSI then?

I start to wonder who your master is.. Let me guess. Tojo Hideaki and Miyazaki Tsutomu, isn't it?

[2008venom]

There is another Honda who was hired by Chinese communist.

Mike Honda...a congressman who has lead H.S.121 Comfort women resolution.

@feedpump77

Because it was his job, to satisfy the requests from his communist master.

When his master requests to acclaim Pol Pot, he does it.

When his master requests to expand Nanjing Massacre scandal, he does it.

@2008venom

Oh you succeed in finding something good about Honda. Congratulations! But I'm still wondering what's the relavance between his mistake about Pol-Pot's and the number of the victims in Nanking massacre. You just made an error of ad hominem.

Why don't you put another authors down like Honda? No idea? Hahaha

@feedpump77

Honda ! Katsuichi !

Hahahahaha!

He has acclaimed when Pol-Pot's entered in to Punon Pen.

After "Killing Field" on Cambodia was reported to the world, he has deleted his past report and escaped.

Now nobody in Japan considers that there is credibility in his word.

The extent of the atrocities is debated, with numbers[\ ranging from some Japanese claims of several hundred, to the Chinese claim of a non-combatant death toll of 300,000. A number of Japanese researchers consider 100,000–200,000 to be an accurate estimate.

According to the verdict of the Nanjing War Crimes Tribunal on 10 March 1947, there are "more than 190,000 mass slaughtered civilians and Chinese soldiers killed by machine gun by the Japanese army, whose corpses have been burned to destroy proof. Besides, we count more than 150,000 victims of barbarian acts buried by the charity organizations. We thus have a total of more than 300,000 victims."

@2008venom

According to the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, estimates made at a later date indicate that the total number of civilians and prisoners of war murdered in Nanking and its vicinity during the first six weeks of the Japanese occupation was over 200,000. These figures do not take into account those persons whose bodies were destroyed by burning, drowning, or other means.

You lie again. A half of dozen US congressmen directly suporrted the resolution and the majority of whole US congress passed it via voice vote.

What do you think of the procedure of congress resolution? In Japan they might pass any congressional resolution with only 5~6 people's agreement, but NOT in US.
