		Tomoyuki Yamashita was born on 8 Nov 1885 in the village of Osugi Mura, on the island of Shikoku.
		Yamashita's father could see that his son was not cut out for intellectual life and agreed that he should join the army, where he could rise through the ranks to rub shoulders with the elite of the country.
		Yamashita surrendered to the Americans on 3 Sep 1945, and was charged as a war criminal on 25 Sep. More than a year later he was tried for war crimes, and, though he denied knowing of atrocities committed under his command, he was convicted and eventually hanged on 23 Feb 1946 in Manila.

		Yamashita insisted that Japan should end the conflict with China and keep peaceful relations with the United States and Great Britain, but he was ignored and subsequently assigned to an unimportant post in the Kwantung Army.
		Yamashita used delaying tactics to maintain his army in Kiangan, part of the Ifugao Province of the Philippines, until 2 September 1945, after the surrender of Japan.
		The legitimacy of the hasty trial has been called into question by many, as considerable evidence pointed to the fact that Yamashita was either not aware of the atrocities that were committed, or was unable to properly control his soldiers due to communication disruption caused by the U.S. Army during their offensive.

		Yamashita was promoted to General in February 1943, but in 1944, with the war situation deteriorating for Japan, he was dispatched as Commander of the 14th Area Army in the Philippines.
		Immediately after the surrender, Yamashita, as commander of all Japanese forces in the Philippines, was arrested as a war criminal, charged with responsibility for atrocities committed by Japanese forces under his command against civilians in Manila.
		Closely examining Yamashita's last words, it becomes crystal-clear that the conclusions he drew from his war experience are fundamentally at odds with the reigning ideology of Yasukuni Shrine and its supporters.

		General Tomoyuki Yamashita was the Commanding General of the Fourteenth Army Group of the Japanese Imperial Army and the Military Governor on the Philippine Islands from October 1944 until full control of the Islands was assumed by United States forces in September 1945.
		In his writ, General Yamashita challenged the jurisdiction of the military commission, asserted that he did not commit a violation of the law of war, and claimed that he was denied a fair trial under the United States Articles of War, the Geneva Convention, and the United States Constitution.
		The Yamashita Standard, however, no doubt will arise in the trial of Slobodan Miloöevic, and others who were in command positions in recognized nation states and will play a role in the jurisprudence of the International Criminal Court.

	George W. Bush And Japanese Gen. Tomoyuki Yamashita
		Evidence linking Gen. Yamashita directly to those many crimes was lacking at the trial, but the decision was that by not maintaining control over his soldiers, and not stopping them from committing war crimes, Yamashita was responsible for those crimes himself, and deserved to die.
		Ordinarily, one might say that a president is not that involved in running the military, and that the responsibility for soldiers' behavior should rest with the top generals, or maybe the Secretary of Defense.
		If it was right for Gen. Yamashita to be executed for his soldiers' misdeeds, it is certainly right for Commander-in-Chief Bush to be impeached for the misdeeds of soldiers under him--and then to be charged as a war criminal himself.
