No, not Jewish, but you obviously missed the point.

You know, I pride myself on being pretty damn open minded about historical accounts and have done a fair share of study in my lifetime. Seems to me that while you broadbrush Westerners about being closed minded, you seem to have built up quite a strict viewpoint on how you perceive things.

I've read numerous accounts of Chinese political situation in the early 20th Century and it is evident that the Japanese hardliner recreation of those events (what you seem to believe as the absolute truth) have been disregarded by historians from all over the world...and most certainly by the millions of folks who suffered under the brutal march to empire by the Japanese warlords. Obviously, this includes far more nationalities than the Chinese.

My point is that there is a slim minority of folks who belong to cultures who have committed attrocities in the past who seek to recreate history and deny historical events. You are certainly entitled to your beliefs, but please don't presume them to be welcome in the face of overwhelming factual data.

Me thinks your time in the spotlight on this subject has passed.
