@TheXtranormalproduct the attack wasn't to punish civilians, it was to end a war. tell me would you rather have the US Invade and have every Japanese citizen fight to the death?

@TheXtranormalproduc Think of it this way:
How can this generation apologize for what happened 2 generations ago? We had nothing to do with it. Do you think any such apology from this generation would be sincere or heartfelt? I argue its impossible. What good is a half-assed, disingenuous apology?
"Oh, atom bomb? My bad."
How fucking ridiculous is that? If your relative was killed in Japan would you want a fake ass apology? Fuck no. Do we feel bad? YES! But we cant apologize 4 what we didnt do.

Methinks you underestimate the severity of some peanut allergies.

@BarthBunzel If your'e liberal, (which im not) this is just the stuff to divide the right and the GOP. It will help the Dems win the general in '12. And if Palin wins the primary, do a jig, because it will ensure a dem victory.

@TheXtranormalproduct Because Japan attacked the US, and because they just wouldnt surrender. And all other options were worse for everyone, whether invasion or blockade. The reason they dropped on civilians is they knew the Japanese thought the US were "weak" and sentimental (why they thought this, i dont know!) and they dropped the 2nd bomb because they did not recieve a surrender from the first. Its a brutal, horrible and catastrophic event that was unfortunately necessary.

Funny this kind of asshole complains about biased polls in the librull media when he never deviates one iota from FOX's cooked up right wing propaganda line some call news. Then he gets all sanctimonious, conflating to the state of WI asking people not to feed peanuts to squirrels in the capitol into some sinister LAW, which it isn't. But I guess when you are a right wing neo-theo-con mouthpiece, you can lie all you want while you pretend you are some righteous defender of freedom

"Now some people in school are not allowed eat peanut butter sandwiches"
Gee....I wonder why someone with a peanut allergy would not want to eat a peanut sandwich. A "partial immunity" will not make it possible to eat peanut.
Also, you do not gain a partial immunity due to exposer- quite the opposite. You gain an allergy from extended exposer

I think the president that was in charge when we bombed them should apologize, I mean it wasn't Obama's decision at all for the bombing. I'm sure he would've said no
Why shouldn't the United States apologise for the atomic bombins in Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Sure, the Japanese government was wrong for its expansionist policies, bombing Pearl Harbour, and other war crimes they committed, but why should you punish civilians for a governments actions? Think about it for a while. Is there really nothing to apologise for? What about the countless innocent people who lost their friends and relatives? Shouldn't the U.S. apologise to them?

Ironically, there are some researchers speculating that the LACK of pollution is part of the reason for global warming. The line of logic is something to the effect that less pollution allows more sunlight through. That seems like it would be enough, but then it continues by saying that more sunlight makes plants a darker green, which in turn traps in more heat and warms the planet.
