HOw is refusing to support the INTENTIONAL mass slaughter of babies and Japanese Christians (Nagasaki was the center of Japanese Christianity) showing cowardice? Please note that I think Obama is an evil man....but in this he is right. It is morally wrong under the ancient rules of war to use terror as a weapon against civilians. If the Japanese had done this to us, we would have prosecuted them for war crimes.

If Truman hadn't had the balls to drop the bomb, I might not be here as nmy father was in the Navy in the South Pacific at the time. Besides, Cmdr Tebbets, who piloted the Enola Gay is a distant cousin...
(Slightly OT) And man oh man did Dennis Miller go off on Obama... Anout KSM - Did any one else hear that?
Our So-Called President is a waste of time.

I believe the civilians of Nanking would agree with you CK.

I’m curious. How many aircraft carriers does the enemy get under the ancient rules of war? Do they get to murder prisoners (Bataan Death March), rape and defile entire cities (Nanking), mindlessly kill long after it is obvious that they’ve lost the battle (Iwo Jima, Gaudalcanal, Tarawa, Okinawa), and deceive their youth into suicide attacks that can’t possibly affect the outcome (Kamikaze)?

Still posting this deceitful rubbish about US “war crimes” during the Pacific War? How sad!
