Martin Luther King - A person who changed history in your country

Hideki Tojo

Hideki Tojo was born in Kojimachi District, Tokyo on December 30, 1884. He was an Imperial Japanese Army general and the 27th Prime Minister of Japan during much of World War II, from October 17, 1941, to July 22,1944.

As the Prime Minister he was responsible for ordering the attack on Pearl Harbor. After Japanese unconditional surrender in 1945, he shot himself in the chest with a pistol when American soldiers surrounded his house.  He attempted suicide but was unsuccessful. He was arrested and recovered in a U.S. Army hospital. He was tried by the International Tribunal for the Far East for war crimes. He accepted full responsibility in the end for his actions during the war.  He was sentenced to death on November 12, 1948 and executed by hanging 41days after on December 23,1948.

He was thought to be the villain of the war. However, the evaluation for him changes now.
According to the document, he endeared to evade war with the United States.  But he couldn’t.

In his final statement he apologized for the atrocities committed by the Japanese military and urged the American military to show compassion toward Japanese people, who had suffered devastating air attack and the two atomic bombs. 

Long time have passed after the end of the war, there is a question whether a person can judge war.
He might be the scapegoat that was convenient for both countries, the United States and Japan

The Omega Files

In this book, there are three short stories. I write each story's impressions of the book.
Omega File 349 : In World War II era of Japan, I think that it is true story like this story. Medicine test should be always prohibited.
Omega File 451 : When I read this story, I remembered Monstor's photograph of Loch Ness in my childhood. it might be the army weapon of UK.
Omega File 522 : In Galapagos islands, I think there are some spaceships or creatures of outer space. (iguana !)

Question : What did you think about these stories ?
1.I felt sorry for Johnny when he was dead.
2.I didn't like it the men in grey didn't answer Howker's question.
3.I liked Omega File 522 best because it is adventure story.

The Phantom Airman

Is this story SF? or adventure? The characters is the same as Unquiet Graves. Dis children do time-srip in World War II days? I think that this story is "Children is led to a ghost of airman and found the truth". I did not feel fear especially, rather I was interesting.
