Thx for the link. Funny, indeed. I like browsing such fun-news sites, distracts a bit from boring reality...

I love the quote '......against the tiny island nation,'. Sneering is unbecoming from a victor, even after many years have passed. The American generation who actually fought in WWII were far more magnanimous to their conquered foe, considering what they went through.

Lighten up Francis!

Japan is an island, and it IS relatively small , although possibly not by European standards. It is less than 1.5 times larger than New Zealand and I doubt you would find it offensive if NZ was described as a "tiny Island nation".

I would not call it a sneer, just a gross misconception. Japan is currently the 10th largest country in terms of total population. In 1940 the total population of Japan was about 73 million, roughly 3.5 million more than the Third Reich, 30 million more than Italy. In case you call Japan of 1940 tiny, I prefer not to know what you´d call Austria. "Au...WHAT?" probably? [:D]

Same for New Zealand (notwithstanding her much smaller population).
