A few points:
1. You can't read.
2. You don't comprehend what you do manage to squeeze through your peepers.
3. Your intelligence is being dwarfed by your ignorance.
4. Just where the hell in my post did I say "there's nothing wrong with killing hundreds of thousands of civilians"????
5. Re read #2.
6. Here it is again...try to get it right this time: IF the US had invaded "Mainland" Japan (just Honshu, not counting Kyushu, Shikoku or Hokkido), the estimated CIVILIAN JAPANESE Casualties was in EXCESS of 3,000,000...some estimates put it closer to 5,000,000. The reason for this is the Japanese people were willing to fight to the last man / woman / child for their god/Emperor (yes...they believed their Emperor to be a god). The Kamakazi's were prime examples of this fanatisism. So...what was the greater evil? Killing 195,000 civilians and ending the war quickly or killing 5,000,000 civilians and drag it out another year+?? Add to these numbers the number of American Casualties...the added deaths of the invasion of the rest of the Japanese Islands (Kyushu, Shikoku or Hokkido). How many deaths then?? How many dealths would have been okay? How many can you justify?
7. War is hell...and personally, I've been in one (Gulf War) and would rather there never be war. But there are limits to this wish. I would rather have a war to defend my and your freedom than to roll over and loose them. Can you say the same? Or are you one of those "Peace at at cost" kind of person??
8. Maybe we should have invaded...maybe one of your ancestors would have been killed in the invasion and you wouldn't be hear showing off your lack of education.
