I blame the japs for that one. And bergoglio for his nincompoopery.

Guy wouldn’t have the guts to send a card condemning the Rape of Nanking.

He should circulate a news reel that has haunted me forever of Japanese troops burying the Chinese people of Nanjing alive, men, women, children, babies.

Or maybe several photos of Russians men hanging and disemboweling Polish officers.

There is no end to it and for Bergolio to chose an obvious political statement is unbecoming of a Roman pontiff

Obviously this man hates the USA today, for what happened in 1945. Indicates a man who is not in contact with reality.

About 250000 people of an aggressor nation were killed to put an end to a war that had already killed 60 million with conventional weapons, and which would have killed millions more. That strikes me as a difficult moral choice, but a correct one.

Arguments against the Bomb boil down to wishing that it never was created. But counterfactuals are not a good basis for moral arguments.

Did Pope include a picture of unprovoked Pearl Harbor attack?

When he was announced we didn’t know much about him but an early red flag was him saying he knew some good communists and then later Obama praising him. It’s been downhill ever since.

He isn’t wrong you know.

Death and destruction IS the fruits of war. (Killing people and breaking things.) Especially if the goal is to literally stomp the militaristic daylights out of a culture. Reference Germany and Japan after the war.

George Will said it best, “History is not kind to those who repeatedly attack their neighbors, and lose”.

I honestly doubt that if he has, he really cares about the results. He wants the POWER of having nuclear weapons. I also doubt if he thinks that there is any responsibility that goes with that power.

Will he circulate the picture of the crying baby at that Chinese railway station the Japanese just bombed? Will he circulate the pictures of the atrocities of what Japan did in Nanjing? Manila? Rangoon?

Karma is a real - those torpedo's used at Pearl Harbor were made in Nagasaki.

Let that be a lesson to Japan. And to any other aggressor nation who has plans to attack us.

the site you linked is ill informed...

under a picture of a person tied to a stake being bayoneted it says “japanese use dead Chinese for bayonet practice”...the japs actually used live victims, chinese and Indians, for bayonet practice...

You are correct, which is what makes the moron Pope’s message even MORE sickeningly ridiculous and stupid.
