I'm with you,Floyd.  Nobody commemorates the 100,000+ Filipino civilians who
died forty years ago in Manila when the Japanese turned it into a battleground
rather that declare it an open city as MacArthur did in 1942.

As I recall it, we only had two regrets at the time:

   1. The bomb wasn't ready in time to use it on Berlin.

   2. We didn't have enough of them to take Japan off of the map.
