hmmm....approximate deaths due to WWII, 55,000,000. Approximate number of Chinese deaths due to Mao's "Great Leap Forward"...45,000,000. Not too much to celebrate there i'm thinking. A bit ironic that the parade is held in the very square that sports a giant portrait of Mao (and the blood of several thousand students). The real enemy and threat to the Chinese people is much closer to home.
