Nonetheless, Mao does not satify the point the original poster made:
Mao did not kill Americans, or at least not at the same rate of Tojo and Hitler. (I'm not sure if the US sent enough advisors to the Nationalists to get hurt fighting the communists.) Neither did Stalin, per say. Funny how Stalin was an ally to the US when we were fighting Hitler.
Whoever wrote the stuff in the original post is very confused.
To back up Ackpth: From this site. "it is thought that 20 million people died of starvation or diseases related to starvation."
Now whether that was a concious decision to kill those people or not, I can't say. That, among other things, tends to put Mao in the bloodthirsty tyrant camp.
Quote:So you can try to kill an American if you must. Hitler did. So did General Tojo, and Stalin, and Mao Tse-Tung,
and every bloodthirsty tyrant in the history of the world.
