Japanese War Crimes in Nanjing, 1937

Japan did lots of bad things prior to, and during, World War II. They paid for this, though, by losing millions of their own people to combat and/or starvation. Three major cities were reduced to smoking rubble by US Bombers and, when they surrendered, their land was occupied by the enemy they tried to destroy.

It's been 70 years since Nanjing, but people still want to get all political over it. Chinese people are getting huffy, Japanese officials are getting defensive... and for what reason?
