42. Okay..

Because he makes the argument for collective guilt and if a people perpetuate death they should be surprised when death visits them. In fact they may deserve even if they acted against it.

In his addemdum to his remarks, he makes special note of the firebombings and of course the twin nuclear bombings.

Since the Japanese people supported the start of war in China and its expansion across the Pacific, wouldn't their suffering be a natural consequence according to his theory of collective guilt.

Sounds like a right wing bogey man to me complete with the Blame America only tag.

On Edit: I just realized that my subject line read "Then he's stupid as well" came on the heels of your subject line that "He's Native American". While I was refering to his collective guilt theory and how he later ignores it for the sake of ranting, I didn't realize the how bad the two subject lines looked stacked on each other.
