In Response to Editorial #2

Japan is a villain! Enough said.

Where does a country that presents itself as a supporting role even think they have the clout to begin striking at civilians and civilization in East Asia? Personally, I am ecstatic about the recent Nazi-Soviet non-aggression pact and I think it will serve the betterment of the Eurasian continent very well. I'm sure that Japan is reeling from concussion as a result of it and I'm not losing sleep over whatever reaction they will have to it. To that same extent, I am sympathetic to those in China who are on the receiving end of Japan's aggression especially since many of those getting the worst of it are simple civilians - women and children. It is simply disgusting. It looks like sole militaristic leadership may not be the key to the success of a nation after all. We will see how the story unfolds from Germany's perspective. However, Adolf Hitler is anxious not only from a militaristic point of view, but also from a socialistic point of view in that he has a vested interest in the people of Germany.

Picabo - I support your points regarding these accusations against Germany's chancellor - he has taken one small bit of territory and he himself even claimed that he only reclaimed the Sudetenland because Czechs were persecuting German-speaking citizens in the first place. Where are people getting this Mass Murder stuff from?

So let's all take a breather and remember that Hitler has only moved into a small new territory over the last 24 months - Not something to lose sleep over. Now that summer's ending and we are encountering a new decade as 1940 comes closer over the horizon, it will be interesting to see how Nazi policy, and Japan's newly inflated self-esteem presents themselves.
