  • If you look back in history...EVIL started in EUROPE...invaded almost all of ASIAN countries and used their resources for their own benefit.. theyre like virus..corrupted the minds of the Japanese..

  • @michaelbarrett18 That is correct, the A bombs were made for Germany but after surrendering, the war with Japan continued. However, the German people were not as primed to fight to the death as the Japanese were and America was starting to be appauled at the loses of Troops in the Pacific. It was estimated that a loss of at least 500,000 allied troops to take the mainland so Truman decided to drop the bombs to end the war. Less lives were lost because of it as well.

  • they arent celebrating, they are paying respect to those who died. theyre at a temple, not a dance hall

  • every country has done its share of bad things at one time in history. im not trying to defend what the japanese did back then though

  • more lives would've been lost if the US invaded japan. The bombs were meant to be used against Germany but Germany had already lost the war so the US dropped them on japan to end the war quickly and so that it didn't look like a waste of money.

  • droping the bombs there is the US way of saying were to lazy to send troops there so ya.....*BOOOM*

  • remember nanking massacre!

  • lol, sorry; Japan is in 7-9 Trillion U.S. dollars of debt as well.

    Interesting dream, though =P

  • i dreamed a couple of week ago that japan was getting even with us by bankrupting america

  • I like Japan and its culture... but lets not forget the atrocities that Japan did to many Asian countries during WW2. Some would agrue that Japan was just as bad if not worse than the Nazis... just ask the Chinese, Koreans and Filipinos. Although Japan is another country and culture now than in WW2, we should not forget the atrocities.
