Recently I returned to the Island from an extended business trip and have just come across a letter from the Vineyard Peace Council in the Gazette for Friday, August 1, for the peace gathering for the bombing of Hiroshima.

I wonder: While they were saying prayers for our enemy at that time, did they remember to say a prayer for all the victims at Pearl Harbor?

Enough said.

Well said Norman. Don't forget the Chinese Victims in Nanking or the tens of thousands of prisoners who died in the Japanese prison camps or building the train that ran over the River Kwai. New movie coming out, by Angelina Jolie on the trials of Louis Zamparini in a Japanese camp.

The name of the coming movie is Unbroken, based on the international best seller by Laura Hillenbrand. She also wrote the best seller Sea Biscuit. Those who have read Unbroken have a fuller understanding of Japanese brutality during WW2. A recent movie, Railway Man, starring Colin Firth is a powerful drama of Allied POWs who were impressed to build the Burma railway.
