[Mr. Silverback]

I don't blame women and children for their nation's wars.

And I don't blame Harry Truman for a decision that may have traded 200,000 casualties for 2.2 million. The Japanese forces on the Asian mainland were killing somewhere around 250,000 and 400,000 civilians a month, so there would have been 750,000 to 1.2million deaths in august, September and October. Then, the invasion on 1 November would have cost about a million or more lives, mostly civilians.

Truman would have to have been a monster to hold it back.

Good for Harry. BTW, did I tell you the story about the time I called him up at his library and talked to him?

Why are you stuck in this Ying/Yang thing where it is necessary to blame the victims for getting roasted by a nuke?
