   My morality has nothing to do with it. Your moral   
   confusion, however, has everything to do with how   
   ill-informed you are.

   You know nothing about me, Mike. You have invented   
   a caricature of me in your imagination, and you   
   have projected that caricature onto me even though   
   it's a false caricature.   
      
   As for your moral confusion, I hope you read JTEM's   
   post that I just read -- it's very good, and it   
   might help to educate you since you are completely   
   ill-informed and morally confused on this topic.   
      
   And just so you know, Mike, -- the United States   
   did not start that war. The U.S. wanted to stop   
   Japan from enslaving the Chinese people. It's a   
   shame that you know nothing about any of that, or   
   how and why that war started -- and why it's a   
   good thing is ended when it did and didn't go   
   on and kill MANY MILLIONS MORE people.   
      
   But why am I wasting my time on trying to educate   
   you, when it's clear that you are too morally   
   confused to ever understand the reality of that   
   war.
