I get his plow horse!

Germans never learn it seems. Poland all over again.

Yes, it is the bad, ugly German bad boys again.

Fighting a war without compromise is different from liking to fight, or easily triggerign war for unjustified reasons.

Poland. You must be kidding, if you compoared me to the Nazi attack on Poland. Better look at the foul reasons of your own country for starting your latest military enterprise - one of many. And compared to the scale of the mess you created you cannot come up with anything truly satisfying that could justify your calling for war. So who is the monster here - me, or you? Maybe I would fight a war more uncompromising than you do - but I wouldn'T start it for such idiotic reasons. And that is the deciding difference.

Well I believed for myself that the point about Pearl Harbour was not the actual attack (in military terms I too admire the attack as much as the attack on Poland or the initial sweep into Iraq in 2003, and I oppose all 3 actions, not that they are the same

) but the context...an act of aggression that to my mind as I wrote to our local IJN fan here (I am one too I admit) could not be seperated from Japanese actions in the rest of Asia. PH also meant death and suffering for Canadian lads sent uselessly to Hong Kong, AZNACS in Singapore, the Filipino people, Dutch in Indonesia etc. It seems both Americans and non-Americans here want to turn everything from history into a comment on the great old USA. Just as the Second World War did not (even in the Pacific let alone Europe) revolve around the USA, neither does the world today. For the other side, the USA is not the unique source of evil, and the war in Iraq not the only injustice going on today.

I really am getting sick of this. Anyway, Skybird is not a warmonger as written on another thread. no way, he hs cewrtainly experienced violence I have not...and that comes across in his postings.
