Graham, as I see it, your latest post offers the following:

Another  hypothetical -- what if the American carriers had been smashed at 
Pearl Harbor? I dunno, but the fact is they weren't. And cnsequentlly there 
was no actual danger of Japan invading Australia.

An account of popular community beliefs that the country was faced with 
invasion. All very true, but it only proves the power of government 
propaganda, historical myth, and yellow-peril fears.

Praise of the Atlantic Charter as the programmatic foundation of the United 
Nations. You may recalll the United Nations was the vehicle for the Korean 
War, whose  horrors would make another interesting discussion.

And a gratuitous swipe about the Völkische Beobachter, as if I had argued 
that Germany wasn't fascist. What this proves about the Pacific War is a 
mystery.
