Yes, point taken Kim.
I too had taken a Japanese bayonet to school for show and tell
which my dad brought back from New Guinea in WWII and no one questioned it either.
How times have changed eh?

It's great to discuss / debate these issues here, just wish there were a "one fix" solution.........
Though I'm pretty much resigned to the fact now that there will never be one.

Although some people today show anger towards the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki,
they are quick to forget that the Japanese at that time, were never going to stop killing till they had
captured and killed everyone in the Pacific, which still makes me think (quietly) that what they did and were continuing to do
should of warranted a third bomb to be dropped right in the heart of Tokyo.

The moral being, sometimes drastic measures need to be taken to stop such scourge.
