  • part of evil ,thats the mechanisim he was part of.

  • Can someone explain to me the point of this particular video edit?

  • FROM THE BUDDHIST VIEW. AS YOU DO UNTO OTHERS SO WILL IT BE DONE TO YOU WITH KARMA. JUST AS JESUS SAID - THOSE WHO LIVE BY THE SWORD MUST DIE BY THE SWORD. WE MAY YET HAVE TO SUFFER WHAT WE MADE 67 CITIES IN JAPAN SUFFER. IT WAS OVER KILL. A MORAL MISTAKE. I GET THE FREEDOM THING BUT IN THE BALANCE OF ETERNITY WE MAY HAVE MADE A POOR CHOICE.

  • wow I never noticed that. but he clearly corrected himself later. it was his voice, or they just dubbed it for acuracy. Remember how old he is in this

  • Hes a hero.

  • Look at :16. He really said 80,000. He neglected 20,000.
