60th Anniversary of V-C Day

DBWI: 60th Anniversary of V-C Day

Well, it's 60 years to the day that China surrendered and WW2 ended, after we nuked Shanghai and Guangzhou. President Keizuke from Japan is coming to the commemoration, and we're having the usual speeches from President McCain, so I suppose it's all right to celebrate the war's final end and the defeat of Fascism.

What do you think?

Well, the nukes were tragic, but the amount of Civilian life that would have been lost if we'd gone conventional would have been much more. As it was, Tibet eptied itself as refugees and Calcutta never did heal completely. Still the USI (United States of India. All the Raj, Nepal, Bhutan, Afghanistan and Tibet) may never have found a way of getting over the religous differences without the war.

Yeah, I know. What's really irritating though, is the damned hippies saying 'No more war! No more war!', as if nuking China was some kind of war crime.

It's like the Taipei Massacre never happened to them...

And don't get me started on the Siam trail.
 
We must never forget that the war began with the Hong Kong Massacre and the H-Bomb on Taipei. Two minutes' silence, please...
