	Asia Times Online :: South Asia news, business and economy from India and Pakistan
		With President George W Bush's "war on terror" mostly discredited, it is in Asia where the United States, instead of being rendered a sub-theme to China's historic rise, is totting up success stories, from North Korea to a potential breakthrough in India-Pakistan ties.
		In this "changed constellation", a new Middle East is struggling to be born, which is, paradoxically, a legacy of the George W Bush era, except it is far different from what the US president had in mind.
		Asia's "Big Three" are prone to suspicions and jealousies due to their highly competitive and strategic environment and this has led to a complex "new Asian drama".

		World War II, also known as the Second World War, was a war fought from 1939 to 1945 in Europe and, during much of the 1930s and 1940s, in Asia.
		The accepted view is that the war began in earnest on September 1, 1939 with the raid of Poland by Nazi Germany, and concluded on September 2, 1945 with the official surrender of the last Axis force, Japan.
		World War II ravaged civilians more than any previous war and served as a backdrop for genocidal killings by Nazi Germany as well as several other mass slaughters of civilians which, although not technically genocide, were nevertheless significant.

		For one thing, it meant that for much of the international community, "Asia" was East Asia; South Asia, comprising the countries of the Indian subcontinent, was largely ignored.

	President Discusses War on Terror at National Endowment for Democracy
		With greater economic and military and political power, the terrorists would be able to advance their stated agenda: to develop weapons of mass destruction, to destroy Israel, to intimidate Europe, to assault the American people, and to flmail our government into isolation.

	Asia Times Online :: Middle East News, Iraq, Iran current affairs
		The thesis is simply wrong for many reasons, not least that war on Iran has been in planning since the 1990s as an integral part of the United States' Greater Middle East strategy.
		Since the shocks of September 11, 2001, and the ensuing declaration of a US "global war on terror", including a unilateral decision to ignore the United Nations and the community of nations and go to war against a defenseless Iraq, few countries have even dared to challenge dollar hegemony.
		A full challenge to the domination of the US dollar as the world central-bank reserve currency entails a de facto declaration of war on the "full-spectrum dominance" of the United States today.

	Second World War Books Review
		When Japan's Greater East Asia War began in 1937, its army was conceived as, and was, a superior infantry force.
		The Okinawa battle was unusual in that it exhibited the stasis and lethality of World War I fronts even though it employed the full range of mobile World War II weapons: tanks, aircraft, radios, and trucks.
		This suggests that dense battle, the 'fire-swept zone' characteristic of World War I, may occur in modern warfare regardless of weaponry, wherever two large forces are concentrated to acquire the same finite objective.

	JPRI Working Paper No. 87
		This embodied the ideals of Japan’s war effort and was meant as a rejoinder to the Atlantic Charter promulgated by the Allied Nations [in 1941].
		Moreover, the “Greater East Asia War” was fought not in Japan’s national interest but to defend Asia’s cultural integrity (its “cultural sphere”) and very existence, which was in danger of being “choked” to death by the aggressive Westerners.
		But war atrocities have their own dynamic, and there is no reason to believe that an army largely unconstrained by public opinion or the rule of law—as Ne Win’s was even before his coup d’etat in 1962—would have followed civilized rules of war, even if the Japanese had never come to Burma.
