"The Japanese" attacked Pearl Harbor? Really? Do you mean that all 79,000,000 Japanese people did it, all at once? Or did they take it turns?

Or do you mean, instead, that one group of Japanese people attacked Pearl Harbor, and then 200,000 other Japanese people, who had nothing to do with it, were burned alive to pay for the sins of the others? If so, whose fault is that? And where's the justice in burning alive 200,000 people for something they didn't do?

The Japanese would never have suffered if they didn't attack Pearl Harbor. The second bomb was dropped on them because they refused to surrender. It was only after the second atomic bomb, they surrendered. So it was the Japanese's fault that they were dying of radiation sickness and whatnot.

Read: "Pearl Harbor: The Seeds and Fruits of Infamy", by Percy Greaves Jr, published by The Ludwig von Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama, 2010, 937 pages. The book is a detailed indictment of the Roosevelt Administration, one that finally and devastatingly rips the lid off a case that has been shrouded in mystery for generations. Robert Stinnett, the author of “Day of Deceit”, calls Greaves's

Do your believe the mistake they talk about is the droping of the bomb, or the governments propaganda that lead their people to their own destruction?

[Itsmeagain9145]

Nagasaki and Hiroshima were chosen because of their population sizes. Either way you look at it. I hate to say it. The bomb saved lives on both sides. The only other option as Japan was not going to surrender was to Launch a full scale invasion of Japan. Actually an Invasion fleet was already beginning to assemble in the philipines.

im woried about north korea destroying us with there nuclear missiles

[PhatFarm60]

North Korea would be turned into a crater, they won't fuck with us

[bendutta2008]

What really bothers me is, we (America) are the ones who invented the ultimate bomb. With that, we basically unleashed a Pandora Box. Now when another country declares that they have a bomb (or in today's terms: War Heads/Nukes), we all of sudden declare for a peace-pac and beg for them not to use it. Now I'm not saying that America should be hit with a bomb, but at what point do we have the right to tell another country not to use a bomb?

[StormoftheNorth]

so the world dosn't go into a nuclear war. think about it, the U.S. has millions. Imagine if all the countries in the world used their nukes, the world would end.

[carrierform]

because everyone has the bomb now, it cannot be used you stupid fuck, it was cause world destruction, we were curious as to see the effect it would have on a country, like the slime of japan

[connor550]

ha-ha, the americans did not invent it, firstly they stole alot of files from a nazi base and destroyed THE nazi base where they were developing the bomb, and in the end it was made by a team of Pakistanis' english and russians! so

and the americans take the credit, fair eh?

How do you think the millions that were murdered by the Japanese in 1937-1945 felt? I'm talking about tens of millions who were systematically separated from their families, imprisoned, tortured, and massacred in the worst ways, like beheadings and cannibalism. Japan did everything they could to bring the atomic bombings unto themselves, and would have continued fighting had it not been for the atom bomb, which ended up saving millions of lives, both Japanese and American. Learn your History!!

[sapperbloggs]

I think the message here isn't that the Jap' attrocities were halted, it's more the selection of civilians as targets. While the motives were honourable, the methods were not. Pointing out the attrocities by the Japanese doesn't justify attrocities from your side. Could the same result have been achieves without targeting civilians?

I hope that in the end, this phenomenal waste of civilian life serves as a warning to the destructive power of atomic weapons, that they may never be used again

[johnnydisagreeable]

"The Japanese" murdered millions in 1937-1945? Do you mean that all 79,000,000 Japanese people did it, all at once? Or did they take it in turns?

[johnnydisagreeable]

Or do you mean that a tyrannical minority faction within Japan -- the military dictatorship and its army -- committed terrible atrocities, and so, as revenge, the US government could burn alive 800,000 civilians who never committed those atrocities, who were themselves victimized and terrorized by the military dictatorship that did commit them, and who never committed any crime but trying to exist in the wrong place, and happening to share an ethnicity with those who did commit those atrocities?

[johnnydisagreeable]

As for the claim that the atomic bomb "saved millions of lives, both Japanese and American" this is a ludicrous patriotically-correct lie, originating in Harry Truman and Henry Stimson's self-serving excuses after the war. (Truman claimed 250,000 would have died on each side; Stimson's ghost-writer McGeorge Bundy invented the ludicrous claim of "over a million" American casualties alone in a 1947 article for Harper's.) No declassified military documents from World War II support either claim.

[rockinraffi]

Like I said, you need to study unbiased History. I won't waste my time debating this with someone who is unreasonable and who has preconceived notions produced by biased prejudice...

Telling Charles to learn his history is like telling the Pope to learn his catechism.
