She needs a good spanking with "real" history book just because she claims Tojo was innocent.....This is an insult for many scholars, students, and victims.
So, invasion of East Asia is in her eyes not a war of aggression...??!!

I wouldn't classify the Pacific War as self-defence from Japan's side. However, many scholars agree that the U.S. provoked Japan into attacking Pearl Harbor, but, this is not the same as saying it was self-defence. I can't name one recognised historian claiming it was self defence. Many scholars (post-revisionists) agree that the fault lies BOTH in the U.S AND Japan. (e.g. the economic blockade = Pearl Harbor)....
[Please, give me a strong drink to divert my thoughts away from that woman!]
