<100 lines of hexadecimal gunk skipped> Armenia couldn't have entered the war because it wasn't an independent state. It surely would have been an Axis ally if it could. However tens of thousands of Armenians volunteered to fight for the Nazis and to help kill the Jews. The "incident" at Pearl Harbor was provoked by the U.S. oil embargo on Japan, which was viewed as a declaration of war by the Imperial government, who said so before commencing hostilities. You should stop repeating U.S. propaganda and learn some historical facts. Remember how the U.S. bombed the hell out of Iraq and murdered thousands of people over a much less crucial oil source? (I suppose the use of census data to ferret out the unfortunate Japanese and to ship them to concentration camps makes this somewhat crypto-relevant. :-) --- Dr.Dimitri Vulis KOTM Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps
