no point arguing with good logic.
My dad fought in the Phillipines. His next orders were to invade Japan. He would've been cannon fodder!
He makes it sound like we should have invaded.
>>What about Japanese lives?... Since the ratio of Japanese to American combat fatalities ran about four to one, a mainland invasion could have resulted in millions of Japanese deaths--and that's not counting civilians....
Don't believe the numbers. Remember, people are claiming 100,000 Iraqi civilians are dead.
Don't believe the conservatives who have a "humanistic manifesto" about the bomb.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki were crimes against humanity......
And we should have used one in Korean War & the Viet Nam War and one more Muslim 9/11 type terrorist attack in America and we should use one on Mecca.

Somber? Yes. Also sad and terrifying and one of the most horrifying events in history. Also necessary.
We pray that such an event will never be repeated.
But anyone who regards the occasion as shameful is both ignorant and stupid. This includes the author of this "editorial".
Ignorance can be corrected through careful and honest study, but there's no cure for stupidity.

think about it.
There was no PC crap about a war against "sneak attackers" or struggle against "invading mean people."
In my little town in Kentucky that successful end to the war was celebrated. Yes, celebrated!
Then came the Korea "police action" and later the battles fought and won in Viet Nam and the war lost in the States.
Anyone not willing to rewind the clock to a 1945 sense of urgency will likely condemn us to failure and acceptance of the enemy's terms and the enemy's definition of "peace." IMO.
One more thing. The enemies within had no "rights."
To someone that was sitting in a ship off of coastal Japan (me), it wouldn't be a very difficult decision to make. The Japanese rape of Nanking, the atrocities they committed in the Phillipines, Pearl Harbor and all thrown together with Iwo Jima and Okinawa added up to a no-brainer.
The Japanese didn't know the meaning of humanity and in consequence learned, we hope a lasting lesson.
Try as I might I do not feel somber or guilty over the use of the aromic weapons. I feel that should we be hit, as we were on 9-11, then all is fair in response. Tancredo was correct...to a point. He didn't go far enough. Take out Mecca, Medina, Tehran and Damascus.
Likewise, looking back only 20 years, who cannot be grateful that President Reagan had the known military might behind him to leave the table at Reykjavik and so cause the USSR to seek to appease the USA. Reagan and Gorbachov were the opposite of "Munich". It was the evil that now had to appease the good.

We can do this! I want a weapon that is laser controlled that will detonate the outgoing warhead 1500 feet above the launch site. Problem solved!
