Conquer is typically used to mean that you take over the government and run the country, not just win a war.
The US ran the Japanese government for a period of several years. I think you mean to add something about "run the country without intent to transfer power back to the locals".
Yes. I find it odd that this argument is derailed into demanding a discussion on the finer points of the semantics for "conquer."
A confession: Often when reading LW, I will notice some claim that seems wrong, and will respond, without reading the thread context carefully or checking back far enough to understand exactly why a given point came up. This results in an inadvertent tendency to nit-pick, for which I apologize.
I appreciate that sentiment and I'll also add that I appreciate that even in your prior post you made an effort to suggest what you thought I was driving at.
