^^ I dont think this idiot above doesnt know how to differentiate between deaths caused by war and genocide. No Matter. Good thread Trackwhack, You forgot to include Winston Churchill there.
Yes, you are right. The Japanese also carried out large scale massacres in territories they controlled. However, instead of going ballistic, what you could do is post references to support your claims. That way, your points carry a lot more weight and become more credible than posts that are unsupported.
Hirohito shouldn't be on the list. He wasn't responsible for the atrocities committed by Japanese troops, rather the militarists in power were. Hirohito was just a figurehead.
Well, you cannot pick out one from the above. The amount of atrocities one can committ depends on the power one wields.
Stalin, Hitler, Mao killed almost everyone and anyone who came in their way. Pol Pot did not have so much influence. Jinnah called for D-day and his unorganized army sent the entire sub-continent into flames for years. The list goes on and on......
We need to come up with the state power that someone commanded and the atrocities committed else again it would boil down to people giving personal opinions rather than engaging in objective analysis.
Add Jinnah... sare fasaad ki jad... the sepratist of the century responsible of division of India.... we are STILL facing issues he created while others ended.
