Subject: Well, I won't read this book. I'm sorry that GHW Bush was the only one who got saved. Too bad it couldn't have been someone else. Yes, I know that this will offend some, but that's how I feel. (Boy, talk about changing history!) Since anti-Japanese sentiment was s-o-o-o-o strong, I'm really curious as to why the US government was so secretive about the fate of the 8. Surely, not to avoid "fanning the flames". I think it was shameful not to have levelled with their families about what happened to them.

[> [> [> Actually, I suspected that this was their fate. WWII has many untold stories. Also, that the US Gov't. thought that "MIA" was a far more merciful fate to leave with their families, than telling them the truth. Personally, I'd want to know what happened. I wouldn't want to go to my grave wondering. Actually, I know of an instance in the 1980's where this happened in Central America. It isn't all that uncommon. I love Willie Nelson, but no -- I haven't heard that song. I respectfully have to disagree about today's world. History is repeating itself and we humans never seem to learn -- as DG also makes clear in her books. I am curious, now, about the Willie Nelson song. -- Lemora, 22:26:41 07/21/04 Wed
