So then, why not just call Nanjing what it was, a massacre. I don't think anyone possibly can sound unkind to the Japanese just TALKING about Nanking whatever terrible word you may come up with in describing it. In fact, I believe people settled on the word "massacre" because they failed to find a word evil enough to match all the terrible crimes perpetrated by the finest young men of Japan at that time. If you found a worse-sounding word, have no scruple - use it - the Japs would more than deserve it, I assure you.
That said, I thought of calling those Japanese soldiers beasts, but realized that no class of beast could ever have done what those soldiers did. So I've decided to be kind and call them what they were, the finest of their generation in Japan at the time - the finest were brought up to serve the Emperor and sent to war in his name, for whatever obnoxious reasons.
Some of the pictures I saw in the Nightmare in Nanking will be seen again in Nanking, but perhaps not in the so-called The Truth About Nanjing. Denying the whole thing altogether is what the cowardly right-wingers are trying to do to their young men today in Japan.
Their finest young men these right-wingers will perhaps want to sent to China again, and the Koreas, the Philippines, the Malays and Indo-China, and Pearl Harbor also.
That's not what Japanese young men need today. What the Japanese young men need today is exactly what the Chinese young men need. They all need to recognize that Nanking happened, that Pearl Harbor was real (I don't think even the right-wingers dispute that), that victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki saw, for a reason, something bright and then naught. They need to recognize it and understand the whys behind all of these horrible, er, "incidents".
