Thats a load of crap.  Although many cities were bombed, tokyo is
really the only city that can be said to have been "burned down",
having 56 percent of the city devastated.  (unless, of course, you
count hiroshima and nagasaki)


Japanese tell you every city was bombed just so they can justify there
stupid pseudo-american antics.  No one said you had to rebuild a burnt
down sushi restaurant with a french cafe.
