Quote:You really have no idea how evil the Japanese were back then do you?  Not only to their adversaries, but also towards their own people.

 

Sometime I wonder if you even read things through before you reply based on assumptions you have about the person you are replying to.

 

Quote: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?

Yes the dropping of atomic bombs were not horrific. We better use quotation marks as if it wasn't. I'm surprised you didn't use your classic strikeout to really drive home your "point". 

 

The second bolded is basically what I said. Just in different words that I assumed anyone other than Missjagsfan would have understood. 

 

Ask yourself this. Why are some innocent humans less important to you than other innocent humans and why are you being so antagonistic?
