I have always used proper Canadian spelling. The Chinese and other Japanese “colonies” would have eventually driven the Japanese out, the colonial era was winding down, smokeless gunpowder was simply too much of an advantage to insurgents (a lesson the USA is still in denial about.) My point is that the USA didn’t “save” the world, despite our fantasies to the contrary. Granted it would have been a different world, but that’s always the case if things had been done differently. And thanks, I worked hard to find a balance that respected all of the participants memories without being preachy or insulting to one side or the other, I’m glad someone noticed. :)

“aeroplanes and honour” You English all of the sudden ? You make a couple of good points. One being the fact that FDR was a big proponent of exiting isolationism. I don’t know if Japan would have settled for a just China policy. I also don’t know about it being the ruin of Japan. How long would’ve it taken ? The China of today owes much to how WWII played out. Also absolutes props for the classiness of the disclosure statement.
