That's exactly the point. Hiroshima (and Nagasaki, you knew we dropped two bombs right?) was a reaction to Pearl Harbor in the same way that the World Trade Center bombings were a reaction to US military action in Lebanon. Except, instead of 2,000 dead innocent civilians, you had more like a quarter million, plus at least another quarter million suffering from radiation aftereffects. What, you think those half million Japanese were any less innocent than the people in the towers? Do you actually think they suffered
less? If so, you might google the effects of radiation poisoning sometime. Not exactly a pleasant way to die.
What's particularly revolting is that despite being one of the most significantly horrific events of our time, you can't even spell Hiroshima. Shows you what kind of effect the suffering of innocents outside our borders has on the average of American.
