@benpg The US as a nation keeps killing innocent people by the thousands all around the world directly or undirectly, and this has been going on for decades. Don't try to limit the immediate damage to the "Individual States" that conform it.

@RichardElden The individual states that make up the United States execute prisoners convicted of premeditated murder by a jury of their peers. People are executed in China for displaying Tienanmen Square pictures or making political blogs.

@RichardElden You're absolutely wrong with every thing you have just stated. Add in the fact that the Chinese people live under a government that arbitrarily executes people for speaking against the government, blocks google and other web pages to prevent free information, and can't provide basic necessities like running water to over 60% of its rural population. Yeah, I think I'd rather stick to living in the US.

@RichardElden The United States has 12 aircraft carriers, China has one. The United States has 10,000 nuclear weapons, with the most advanced delivery systems on earth, the chinese have 200. The United States has a GDP of 14 trillion. The Chinese GDP is 4 trillion. How is China more powerful?

Fredrick Douglas: A true patriot is a lover of his country who rebukes it when it needs to be rebuked and does not forgive its sins.
Perhaps you should learn something of your own history. Any of us can say anything we want to about the "greatest military power" and we have a duty to.
On the topic of Japan. Bombing it was the the only alternative. Japan itself had little access to natural resources and they were cut off. A blockade was also an alternative.

@DaftSwank I agree. I thought his accent and pace of speech was particularly well done.

@DaftSwank I agree. Martin Sheen also gave a good portrayal of JFK in the 1983 television mini-series Kennedy and Patrick Dempsey wasn't bad as a young JFK in JFK:Reckless Youth.

@sbchamps99 OH SHUT UP!!!!! LEARN YOUR HISTORY. The fire bombing was not an alternative to bombing Japan. The US was going to invade any way and yes i would diss the so called "greatest millitary power in the world" (the greatest in your mind) whenever i feel like it.

I like Bruce Greenwood as JFK. I think his portrayal was one of the best ever of the late 35th President.

Goodness, can you imagine being the president of the USA? The kind of incredibly tough decisions you have to make that possibly determine the fate of the world.
