"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?

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!!

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?

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.

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?

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.

[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?
