    Atomic Bombing on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

    During World War II, for the purpose of forcing the Japanese to surrender unconditionally, the United States military dropped atomic bombs on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan on August 6 and August 9, 1945 respectively, killing at least 120,000 people outright, and around twice as many over time. Japan presented its formal document of surrender to the Allies of World War II on August 15. This was the first and only use of atomic bombing in history. "WIKIPEDIA"

    DO YOU THINK IT IS JUSTIFIED?

    I think we wasted perfectly good bombs, we should have hit Germany instead.

    Well, why should I share my opinion? You obviously don't think it was justified, or you wouldn't bring up the topic.

    And I sense that no amount of logical or philosophical debate will cause you to change your mind, or believe any differently.

    Sorry, but I've seen enough of your posts, that I reasonably think you're not wanting academic debate, but instead want to cause another 'flame thread' against America.

    Do you ever say anything nice or kind about the U.S.?

    WHY ARE YOU JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS?
    i DO NOT HATE AMERICANS AT ALL !! I HAVE MANY AMERICAN FRIEND!
    AND I HOPE YOU ARE THE NEXT.
    ACTUALLY, I AM AGAINST AMERICAN POLICY ONLY BECAUSE IT IS CAUSING A LOT OF BAD IMPRESSIONS ABOUT YOUR COUNTRY EVERY WHERE.
    REGARDING, THE ATOMIC BOMBING, I AM TOTALLLY AGAINST IT. I THINK IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER IF THE AMERIICAN GOVERNMENT HAD BOMBED A MILITARY TARGET INSTEAD OF CIVILIAN ONE.

    I THINK IN AMERICAN CULTURE YOU ENCOURAGE OPPOSITE OPENION DEBATE. I AM NOT AFTER ANOTHER ' FLAME THREAD' AS YOU ARE ASSUMING. NOWADAYS, THERE A LOT OF DEBATES REGARDING THIS BOMBING WHICH OCCURED SIXTY YEARS AGO.
    I AM HERE TO SHOW MY SOLIDARITY TO ALL VICTIMS FROM ALL NATIONS.
    PLEASE, DO NOT THINK OR BELIEVE THAT I HATE AMERICANS. THIS IS ABSOLUTRLY WRONGFUL:
    AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE VERY HOSPITABLE AND YOU CAN ADAPT WITH THEM QUICKLY. THEY HAVE HIGH SPIRITS AND THEY ARE MULTICULTURAL. IN GENERAL, THEY ARE OPEN MINDED AND THEY LIKE TO HAVE FUN AND MAKE NEW FRIENDSHIPS. I HAVE MANY AMERICAN COLLEGUES IN MY COMPANY AND WE ARE SO CLOSE TO EACH OTHER.
    IN ADDITION, I THINK YOU AGREE WITH ME THAT AMERICAN POLICY IS NOT FAIR AT ALL AND IT IS EXTEREMLY CONTROLLED BY JEWISH LOBBIES. IT IS NOT GIVING ANY CONCERN TOWARD AMERICAN IMAGE TO THE WORLD.
    I AM SORRY, IF MY POST WAS MISTAKINGLY UNDERSTOOD.
    I become jealous
    of my words when
    i say them to you
    and you like them
    but not me.

    No, he does not hate Americans. He just hates Jews. Keep in mind that a number of Arab leaders in WWII backed Hitler.

    AS far as the subject of dropping the Bomb on Japan; it is easy to second guess what should have been done now, 60 years later but the truth of the matter is only known by those actually living at the time. It was their decision to make, for their particular reasons, not ours.
    I had family memebers captured by Japanese and forced to work as slave labour near the Kwai River, so I don't particularly care what was dropped on Japan as long as they were freed from what would have been death by starvation and brutallity.

    Well, USA saved lots of lives of their soldiers, in cost of lives Japanese non-combatants. Good this is or bad? Anyone decide it for himself...In one hand, life of your soldiers is more expensive for you, then lives of enemies, but in other...killing lots of civilians to scary government of enemy country, make chaos and panic in their army…this is like terrorists do now...
    But this is history, anyway. Today USA and Japan are best friends. Now Japanese schoolboys believes, what it was Soviet Union, who drops A-Bomb at Japan (words “Allied Forces” and “Soviet union” have a same signs as I know).
    The bear looked at the car, and reflections of fire danced in his eyes. He knew what to do.

    HI ddt YOU ARE ALWAYS CONFRONTING:
    YES I HATE ZIONIST JEWS SOO MUCH. THEY ARE THE ONLY NATION THAT THINKS THEY ARE THE CHOSEN PEOPLE OF GOD AND THAT OTHERS ARE GOYIM " IN HEBREW IT HAS A NICE MEANING " AND THIS INCLUDE ALL NON JEWS. THEY ARE THE KILLERS OF PROPHETS. THEY ARE THE SPONSORS OF ALL KIND OF SOCIAL DESTROYING CHANNELS. THEY ARE THE KILLERS OF CHILDREN IN PALESTINE" YOU CAN SEE THIS ON NEWS SITES". THEY ARE A NATION OF GANGS THAT CAPTURED SOMEONE ELSE'S HOMELANDS. THEY ARE CONTROLING USA THROUGH IPAC FOR THEIR OWN GOODNESS. IN CHRISTIANITY: THEY ARE THE KILLERS OF CHRIST. " I DO NOT AGREE WITH THAT, I BELIEVE THAT JESUS HAS BEEN LIFTED TO HEAVEN AND HE WILL COME BACK AGAIN, BUT I BELIEVE THAT JEWS ARE WERE TELLING ROMANS TO CROSSIFY HIM.
    JEWS ARE THE ONLY NATION THAT EOUROPEANS MADE GHEETOS FOR THEM AND YOU MAY KNOW WHY.
    JEWS ARE THE NATION THAT IS FAMOUS OF BRIBERY, LIE, CONSPIRACY, AND THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEM TO DO THE MEANEST THING IN ORDER TO GET TO THEIR GOALS WHICH ARE IN GENERAL NOT NOBLE.
    ANY HUMAN BEING SHOULD HATE SUCH A NATION. MAY BE YOU ARE A JEW. IF THIS IS THE CASE YOU CAN NOT BLAME ME BECAUSE YOU KNOW THE REAL JEW'S LIFE.

    CAN YOU NAMES OF THOSE ARAB LEADERS. I THINK YOU NOTHING ABOUT WWII: EGYPTIANS, MORROCANS, AND OTHER ARABS FOUGHT AGAINST NAZIS IN SAHARA AND EGYPT.
    PLEASE, BE REALISTIC.

    I didn't know that a number of Arab leaders in WW2 backed Hitler. Hey! Jews are people too.
    I just think it is EXTREMMMMMMELY curious, that ANYBODY would equate America with Jewish lobbies, though. I'm not sure why I think this way.

    DDT, what am I trying to say ...

    There are main lobbyists and then there are secondary lobbyists who after an incredible amount of hard work and preservance make some SMALL head way. I think the Jews are in this second category because it is my laymens understanding that the main player is always christian fighting against the factors seeking constitutional obeyance. To say "It's those damn Jews again" is complete folly. Jews make up a dang small portion of american religious belief. Maybe it is easier to take something you hate (jews) and overlay that concept over that which you wish to be pissy with (whatever), then it is easier for your head to ...(whatever again)

    Where is my infidel shirt.

    Muslims get to wear dresses to work. Why don't I get to wear dresses to work. Do I have to be a Muslim to get to wear a dress to work!

    That outburst sounds disturbingly like the kind of rubbish Hitler believed. True Arab, I understand the injustices that Palestinians are suffering under Israeli military rule but that sort of sentiment towards all Jews is totally unacceptable. No wonder there is no peace in the Middle East with these kind of attitudes. Looks like you're just the guy to make DDT's views seem almost reasonable.

    Is there something about this place that attracts extremists??

    Да, густо... Давно такого не слышал... Даже "Протоколы..." приплёл. Я думал, о них только отечественные антисемиты наслышаны, а гляди-ка, даже арабы в курсе...

    Well, I have come to the conclusion that the atom bombs, no matter what was going on in anyones heads at the times, no matter how many lives they saved by not needing to invade Japan, were terrorist acts. Nothing else. The bombs were dropped on civilian targets in order to get Japan to surrender faster. This is terrorism. Same as firebombing Germany and Japan.

    Now, an argument goes, but Germany did the same thing! So what? That is terrorism too! Unless you agree that terrorism can be NECESSARY, you can not condone the atomic bombs.

    I am interested in a serious debate.

    But really there Klinky, whats the difference between one Atomic bomb and a massive carpet bombing? The same amount of people get killed. Afterall, isn't that the objective of war, to kill people. You should keep in mind that this idea to limit the amount of dead people to only combatants is a NEW idea in war. No such concept was worried about in WWII or WWI. You see back then the idea that one side of an arguement or war could actually be righteous was still prevalent. Not so, now in this age of grey. These days everybody is correct because they "have their own truth". Well that's a load of huey. Hitler and Japan were wrong and that's it.
    They lived by the sword (attacked peaceful people), so they died by the sword (we dropped an A bomb and carpet bombed them. End of story.
