I must tell you that I am not at all impressed by what passes for culture or honour in Japan - in the context of our current discussions. I am sure such overbearing pride and arrogance was also a feature of early European civilisation back in the 'age of chivalry'; but in the 20th century behaviour of the kind which the Japanese people inflicted upon other nations, near and far, was inexcusably vicious and depraved. They got off very lightly, I think. Tim >>Lise Hogan >>San Antonio, Tx - USA >> >>
