For the record I have posted on other topics, but don’t understand why call me a troll. I happen to have an interest in 20th Century War history, have traveled to Europe, Asia (China, India, Thailand & Japan) & many states in the U.S.

I have discussed the atrocities committed by the Imperial Japanese military such as Rape of Nanking, Bataan Massacre, Shiro Ishii’s Flea Bombs. I read the book the Rape of Nanking by the late Iris Chang (also her book the Chinese in America, a Narrative history). I am fluent in the atrocities that the Imperial Japanese Armed forces did, incl. Unit-731 experiments in Manchuria-similar to Nazi experiments done in the concentration camps-Shiro Ishii would be the Josef Mengele of Asia.

My point with regard to Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Dresden & other cities bombed during the war if you understood my post isn’t so much about the atomic bombings, but rather to focus on the victims & to reiterate that the kids are innocent. Why is that a ‘liberal’ issue? The Mormon Church (LDS) has said the kids killed in wars are innocent & so has columnist Pat J. Buchanan. I don’t understand your 2nd paragraph & I don’t see what I wrote which makes it so controversial. Please educate.

Your comments are not concerned with the innocent victims of warfare. They are concerned with casting moral doubt on the victory of the United States over imperial Japan. You seek, by doing so, to draw a moral equivalence between the two sides. I utterly reject your argument. These are the arguments of undergraduate leftists and those who admire Noam Chomsky. You, I strongly suspect, are among them. (By the way, the Mormon Church is a religious organization, and Buchanan is a notorious isolationist; neither is a credible commentator on the morality of WWII.)

If you're really concerned about the fate of innocents, you might start by reading the Book of Exodus, and pondering the words there.

Until you show otherwise, I will remain convinced that you're a troll.
