- what can we know about that time... we know plenty
- it saved lives... it didn't

all military leaders in theater at the time thought it wasn't necessary and actually recommended that we accept japans 1 condition in order to save lives... just think how many would have been saved if we had accepted japans surrender in the spring or early summer of 45 as recommended by our military leaders in theater at the time...

we NUKED a defeated, trying to surrender nation's cities filled with innocent civillians, men, women and children, TWICE.

that is what we must come to terms with.

we wonder why we fear so much... well i believe it is because we KNOW what evil we are capable of and we are supposed to be the 'good guys' our worst nightmares get projected onto everybody else.
