<t>If the game has resources set up properly then Naru will feature as *very* important - it's a major nitrate source.<br/>

I wonder if WitP will feature important places like Kamiishi in Japan? It'll be interesting to see how well the researchers have done their jobs - any of the testers want ...

It may be different mentality. What the 9/11 hijackers and WW2 suicide pilots have in common is the belief in the idea. Kamikaze crashed their planes thinking of going to heaven, similar to the 9/11. Soviet pilots ...

WWII was a struggle against both Germany and Japan. However, in the Pacific it was mainly Japan. There is no contradiction or contention with the title. I think it fits quite well. <br/>
