<HTML>Your post is some of the most patently absurd
and specious drivel I\'ve ever seen. Even
Nimitz, when responding to questions from
Doenitz\'s lawyers, could not objectively
defend his conduct of the Pacific campaign
as being even slightly more moral than the
u-boat campaign in the Atlantic...from the
point of view of how many men were shot in
the water, the Amnericans definitely hold
the record. Do you know how many instances
there are of u-boats giving survivors food,
water, directions? And doing it at great
risk to themselves? Can you show a single
instance of Americans doing the same? The
Laconia incident comes to mind, somehow...
among others.
There\'s one reason only why Americans aren\'t
now generally considered war criminals, and
that\'s because they won...with considerable
help...once they bothered to get in the war
at last. Maybe you could peddle your verbal
bowel movements somewhere else.</HTML>
