Have the atrocities committed by the Japanese received as much "circulation"? For example, has anyone seen the recent documentary about what happened in Nanking? Have you even heard of it? I wonder if HBO will show that film. Of course it is ironic that the Nanking documentary will reportedly not even be aired in Japan.
And by no means am I suggesting that Hiroshima and Nagasaki are remotely similar to what happened in Nanking and elsewhere as a result of Japanese atrocities. It is also absurd and offensive to compare Hiroshima and Nagasaki to the Holocaust.

It is also absurd and offensive to compare Hiroshima and Nagasaki to the Holocaust. Only to a conservative.
To a Liberal, all violence is morally equal. (...except for the Communist stuff. It never really happened at all. Communism is terrific! ...really!)

all this SHOULD be shown to alert the left as to what can happen with al Q@uida getting ahold of nuclear weapons.
But then as Cindy sheehan said “If they come over here I will hit them with a rolling pin!”

Does Sheila Nevins, head of the HBO documentary unit, have an agenda or ax to grind? For her to say that these bombings were done by America, unlike the Holocaust, which was well documented, certainly makes one think that this is a biased one-sided documentary worthy of Michael Moore.
To: The Noodle
The imperialistic US should apologize for starting WWII and then to drop atomic bombs on a poor innocent country minding its own business is just horrible. How can America live with itself...
To: The Noodle
At least an entire generation has been taught (in many schools) that America is an oppressor nation. This is just to reinforce that false idea.
To: The Noodle
The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki ended WWII, and thus are events to be celebrated!

HBO will not talk about the real lesson of the Pacific War:
Don’t ever attack the U.S. Don’t even think about it as it will go badly for you.
Seems to be a lesson that is difficult for some to learn.

Bataan Death March anyone?
Having not seen this documentary it’s hard for me to comment.
However, if liberal schisters continue to revise history in an adverse and untrue manner (like Zinn and his Peoples History Tome)...what should we do about it? Boycotts do not work and legal action would be tough, since they would have first amendment protection.

I think we should make sure that these are broadcast, often, on Al Jazeera. Sure would be a bitch if history should repeat itself.

Of course not.
Showing realistic portrayals of what the Japanese soldiers did in
China would simply be below the high standards of HBO, which isn't
interested in publicizing such low-brow "shock" material.
(yes, I'm being sarcastic)

I do not believe that the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki should be celebrated. And that does not mean that they are to be condemned either.
To: VOA
Japan was a fanatical military despotism that was invading all over the globe, torturing prisoners, enslaving whole countries, raping and murdering women, performing medical experiments on humans. they had no respect for their victims, who they viewed as sub-human and undeserving of compassion -
How could Japan complain about what anyone did to it in defense? Thank God we stopped them and not a second too soon.

exactly 62 years after the United States detonated the first-ever nuclear bomb over Hiroshima. The second, and so far last, atomic bomb was dropped three days later. If these were the ONLY two nuclear bombs ever dropped, what happened in Arizona? What did we do during the Cold War?
They were the only bombs dropped in wartime on populated centers, but they weren't the only nukes ever dropped.

Unless they’re showing “Grave of the Fireflies” in the original double feature with “My Neighbor Totoro” (no dubs), there is no sense in tuning in.
The only Japanese slanted WWII movie I’ll watch.
