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. |
Nuking Japan was NOT a reaction to Pearl Harbor. Yay, lets hear it for public schools!!!! And for the people who think is was so horrific, what's your take on what Japan did to China beforehand?
BTW, American napalm killed far more Japanese than what Big Boy and Little Boy did combined.
