At the end of WWI, when the French General Staff (I know what you're thinking) read the Treaty of Versailles, they disagreed with it saying it would be a twenty year peace, they were fairly accurate in their estimate. I read this in either Martin Gilbert's history on WWI or John Keegan's history on WWI. I have felt for a long time that WWI and WW2 were the same conflict, with a 2o year and ten month cease fire.

These folks know WW2 started when Japan invaded Manchuria. It's the general population, schooled by leftist teacher's unions, that think it started at Pearl Harbor. As I stated on another thread, the level of intelligence is much higher here than out there amongst the populace. Most of them think THIS war started on 9/11 but we all know it started 1,300 years ago in Arabia. Half of our great nation knows NOTHING about this current war, let alone WW2. But ask 'em who Paris Hilton is bangin' this week and they're all over it! Aengus is right, they're asleep at the wheel and they can't be woken up. When you try to educate them on it, their glaze over like when your wife talks about shopping for purses! God help us! Hey Bryan, this is HotAir and you’re preachin’ to the choir.

I can tell you for CERTAIN, that in 1937, BEFORE Neville Chamberlain declared "peace in our time", and BEFORE the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, the Japanese army marched 300,000+ civilians out of the southern capital of China (in the space of 6 weeks), shot them like they were dogs, and buried them in mass graves. The Chinese have NOT forgotten. Many of them HATE the Japanese to this very day. Those events are remembered by historians as "the rape of Nanching." It is one of the principal reasons that it is impossible for the Japanese to keep a web-site honoring their war-dead up-and-running. Chinese hackers keep breaking into those sites, deface them, or take them down. In more recent times, both the United Nations and its principal sponser (the U.S.) have stood by and simply "watched" genocide and mass murder take place in Iraq, the Balkans, Darfur, and many other remote locations around the globe. What we are doing is tantamount to playing a game of dice -- and it is a VERY DANGEROUS game indeed. 'Nuff said. I dated a Chinese gal for a while (from the mainland) who grew-up in Nanching.

I have never seen it before and me being 47, you'ld think I have seen it, maybe clips at sometime. That stuff is pretty powerful the way they put it across to the public. Also very politicaly correct, almost all groups in the USA (prior leaders and philosophers are quoted), I am sure they would have added Dr. King today as part of the "effect" that was trying to be generated with this.

In World War III we're now at 3000 dead or .74% of the last international conflict. Don't get me wrong. I feel badly for all of the brave men and women who have died for this noble cause.
