This song is to remind us that this cruelty should never happen again.

Tom is one of the best and this very moving song should remind people how easily things like this can happen. Thanks.

@LordGroundhog Well it doesn't sound that way to me! I have no clue who this group is and I could care less. Thanks!

[LordGroundhog]

@SamLuvsJamesDean Happy? You're kidding, right? Couldn't you hear the lyrics, or are you that unfamiliar with folk paradigms and motifs? This song is pure heartbreak on a stick.

Thanks Tom.

Why does the song sound so happy? Retarded

@AbFabDeva That makes you a normal human being.

A blockade is also used to stop commerce or trade, which FDR used so Japan could not import steel and oil. In the internment camps the Japanese-Americans were forced into, how many deaths? and the German and Russian? Japan refused the unconditional surrender proposal laid prior to the A-bomb, and only accepted the terms after the Nagasaki bombing

[Ibanezmiller]

@superhoga When the US first started the saturation bombing of Japan, uncondidional surrender was not acceptable to Japan.  With an invasin of Japan the last military option, and considering the massive casulaties for both the US an Japan the use of the A-Bomb was the best case scenario. FDR's blockade was forced by the Japanese "rape" of Nanking(sp) and other acts against humanity. I wonder what the Japanese thinking at the time was?

[superhoga]

@Ibanezmiller Could the Japanese involvement have had anything to do with FDR's complete blockade? Hint: a blockade is an act of war. I'm glad you disagree with the internment, but forgive me if I don't explain away the demolishing of your rights by saying well at least they didn't kill ibanezmiller. Tell me how many lives would have been saved if Truman had accepted the peace offer he received 6 months before he authorized the bombs? Since he accepted the same one afterward, I mean.

I will never agree with the A-bomb, or the horrendous testing that followed it. But you are right about Eric Bogle, and the Hitler/Stalin years.
