guestswim	I'm sure you all here know about the Tokyo War Crimes Trials (1946-1948)? well, i jsut found this out and it's really shocking and quite mad.... If not here's a short version of it the most disturbing part! Back in 1946, most japanese war criminals were tried for warcrimes, many were executed, but those were just the lower levels, until they ran across a man named Shiro Ishii, leader of 731. He was as guilty as himiler and hitler, but instead of execution, he was granted his freedom, and lived in the US, his bargain chip was bio-chem tech. Okay Chinese part of this... They were not represented in the trials, plus ishii murdered thousands if not hundred thousand of chinese! heres my main quesion: IF America, is said to be the defenders of good and freedom and humanity; how come they sold the CHINESE and KOREANS, for BIO-TECH weapons? Instead of giving him death, how come they gave him life? How come EVEN AMERICAN SOLDIER where barred by the government to not tesifty? Wouldn't that be denying them consituiontal rights and existance? I'm confused i thought America is said to be the defenders of good and freedom and humanity?!?! isn't this much worse than SADDAM did?

Guestswim,

Now You are touching to a topic I would have a lot to say, only my opinions, of course. Not only the one You mentioned, but all that happened around ww2.
However, I decide not to comment, because I don´t want to spoil my Christmas day with it. (Well, I am not charm any more, so I might, but .... anyway)
Besides, usually I avoid to open my mouth in open markets like this, because don´t want to course bad feelings to others.
Nevertheless, by all means You others can continue, I speak only for myself.

Wishing merry Christmas to all

Carlos

Barring American soldiers from testifying in a war crimes trial is not a violation of a soldier's consititutional rights.

>>>I'm confused i thought America is said to be the defenders of good and freedom and humanity?!?!

It appears you are buying the marketing. America is no purer, no wiser, no more honorable than most other countries. America is run by politicians, bureaucrats and influencial corporate interests which assures corruption through and through.

There was a time when American citizens would have stood up and fought such a corrupt government, but those Americans disappeared soon after the tea party in Boston. There have been moments of honor, glory and kindness since then but IMO those moments are too few to be self-righteous.
