	Commonweal - A review of religion, politics and culture
		War must be, in the words of John Paul II, "the very last option." This means that war should not be resorted to because it is faster than diplomacy or more demonstrative of a nation’s resolve, or more illustrative of our unique power in the world.
		War must be necessary, virtually the only way to counter a threat, repel an aggression, or assist those under attack.
		War is one possible response but it is the most difficult to justify-again it should be "the very last option." The necessity test must be met; we have entered this war without doing so.

	Wikipedia Entry on Japan's Apologies - Asia Finest Discussion Forum
		The following is an exhaustive list of apologies delivered to China and Korea by individual Japanese officials since 1972, which diplomatically stated that Japan was either keenly or deeply aware, conscious, remorseful or regretful of the unfortunate acts, tragedy or suffering during a certain period or in the past.

	AII POW-MIA WW II The Issue of Compensation
		World War II (WWII) was fought during 1939-1945 in all corners of the globe by the Axis powers (Germany, Japan, Italy, and some smaller states) against the Allies (United States, United Kingdom, Free French, Nationalist China, the Soviet Union, and other allies).
		The immense problems of World War II record-keeping in the heat of battle, how POWs and internees are defined, and sometimes unknowable individual circumstances, make an authoritative determination of the precise number of POWs and internees held by Germany and Japan in WWII virtually impossible.
		Also discussed at this hearing was the Statement of Interest of the United States on Plaintiffs' Motion to Remand filed by the Justice Department in the case of Heimbuch vs. Ishihara Sangyo Kaisha recently filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California.

	Ed Driscoll.com: War And Anti-War Archives
		You know, right after we had gone to war for almost four years in Europe, and then suddenly, the American people were told hey, wait a minute, you can't really come home, because you've got four hundred Soviet divisions, and these guys are just as bad as Nazis, so here we go again.
		While the military will and should remain under civilian leadership, the fact is that the perspective of the soldiers and Marines on the lines have been woefully underreported in the American media, and it's somewhat embarrassing that we have to turn to a British newspaper to discover this unease at the change in Pentagon leadership.
