And where's your proof that every single person burned to death by those bombs supported the war? Did the babies? Did the four-year-olds? How about the five-year-olds? To say we killed absolutely no innocents is not only ridiculous, it smacks of the same irrational nationalism that you accuse other nations of. Are you saying those babies and small children deserved to burn up in an atomic blast? Is that what you're saying? Yes or no, please.

We fought back after being attacked and we fought Japan until they surrendered. Once they did, we stopped attacking and helped them rebuild. Because that's what you do in war, if you're fighting it honorably. Anything else is just revenge. Continuing to punish a nation after it surrenders is the behavior of thugs. Thank goodness the leaders of our nation during WWII didn't think like you- today Japan is an ally, due in no small part to us helping it rebuild.

Oh,I think the problem here is you aren't aware just how ruthless these "people" acted.Lady,we got an awful lot of men in that coffin (about 1,000 innocent men.)This was not an honorably fought war(in any way.)During the BATAN Death March they hacked men to death,cut their heads off etc. Whatever they felt like doing to Americans,Brits,Aussies etc. They committed atrocities in every country they took.Raped Filipino women so much that they were mental vegetables after the war.Over a thousand men on this one ship were trapped in there when it sank.You think I should feel something for the friends,families and fellow citizens of the scum that did this to innocent people? No,I don't.They deserved those bombs.No more innocent Americans should of had to lose their lives fighting this scum.These bombs got them to surrender without any more innocent Americans dead.Yea,lady,those Japanese had to die for this war to end.I have zero sympathy for anybody living in Japan at that time......ZERO.THEY DESERVED 10 MORE BOMBS...ATLEAST!!! They will never pay the debt they owe to the countries they attacked.NEVER....THEY CAN NEVER MAKE UP FOR WHAT THEY DID.WAR isn't honorable.It is hell.Those bombs were just part of that hell,but so were the men they cut in two.What you don't get is that they deserved their ass-kickin' ,but those men in that ship didn't deserve what they got.Next time you start feeling soft for the Japanese go to that Arizona Memorial,and put your sympathy in the place it really belongs.You disgust me.

Don't read 'em if you don't like them.All you ever do is return somebody's fast serve,but you can't serve.Your opinion is don't have a strong opinion.Fact is that all 3 countries support or supported the idea that their race is superior to all others.As far as Turkey goes,I know their ultra-nationalism is gunna be a huge problem.They've been taught to worship a leader who died 70 years ago.There is no freedom of the press.Overall,the people seem rather uneducated.Even their Moslem religion takes a backseat to their ultra-nationalism.It's only a matter of time before this bomb goes off.

"Don't read 'em if you don't like them"

who said i didn't enjoy this?

"All you ever do is return somebody's fast serve"

or slow fat curveball

"but you can't serve"

i know. it's too difficult to throw those heavy blood soaked opinions around.

"Your opinion is don't have a strong opinion"

that's called "open minded"

the rest of that post is more of your usual yadda yadda yadda only less funny.

I won't bore anyone with stories of going to see the memorial (several times) or any about my Dad (who served in WWII).....

I can understand your anger but it's your militancy that i find a bit scary.

Do you have any idea of what the estimates were like, the total numbers of victims?

Can you comprehend the number 200,000? TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND children, women, men, daughters, sons, parents, loved ones? Do you understand that that number doesn't include the misery of those who died later, who suffered from radiation burns, cancer, etc? That that number is merely an estimate (which goes as high as 210,000)?

I'm not saying you're a bad person here... just reminding you that innocent people on both sides suffered horrific and unimaginable deaths.

I'm curious as to your comment on the population of Turkey and also want to know if you address women in general as "lady" or if that was some kind of term of endearment for GR.

It seems a little demeaning to me... like some bad dialogue from a 50's film.

She's literate, educated and states her points well. I just find the term a bit crude.

Shut your mouth and go into the kitchen and make me a sammich, woman.
