The US dropped two nukes on Japanese cities

74. As I said, that is the government line on the history.

It is justification after the fact. We don't know what would have happened if we had not nuked Japan, because we nuked Japan!
And yes, we thought that the demonstration would keep the Soviet Government in check, and yes that was a condideration.

For the sake of current events, arguing over 80 year old history is a bit absurd in any case. This reason this subject came up is to somehow justify what is happening in Gaza because of what happened 80 years ago in Hiroshima, and that argument is no more valid than justifying the Mexicans bombing Madrid to ashes, next week, and justifying it because of the Inquisition.

This is just a personal opinion, but I do not believe there is any justification for the way the war on civilians is being carried out today. I am not hard-hearted to believe that it has been necessary to sacrifice over 5,000 children in a state temper tantrum. It appears to me that Israel is behaving in a way that is contrary to human decency if not international law. This is looking more like genocide than war.

I have always been a supporter of Israel I will not follow them down this path.
