Oh I see, you equate the occaisional, unspecified illegal acts of individuals with the large scale, policy driven acts of barbarism committed by the Japanese in WW2 (and of course the preceeding years in China).
Moral relativism is a wonderful thing isn't it - it allows you to know nothing and still pass judgement on everything. I commend you on your choice of personal philosophy, it suits you perfectly.
And what possible offense could be taken to comparing an unspecified number of unspecified individual Australian atrocities to the systematic murder of thousands of POWs, civilians, nurses, wounded and non combatants by various combinations of starvation, torture, brutality and simple murder. Yes a 'smiley face' makes everything OK.
