Quote:Dude, where did I say the American victims are to be ignored?

 

Well you seem to be so concerned about the "horrors" of the decision to drop the bomb(s) on the Japanese people, yet fail to consider the horrors of what happened to actual Americans.  The Japanese people were not exactly the same as they are in today's world.

 

Let me bring my "tone" down a bit.  The Japanese people and government were very cruel back then.  There was a standing order for all U.S. POW's to be killed in the event of an invasion.  That almost happened.

 

Yes, dropping the bombs cost many civilian casualties, but the alternative would have been much worse.  That's what happens when a country is at war.

 

Tell me, how many women and children were incinerated of died in England, France, etc. during that war?
