Way more damaging? Those 2 atom bombs ruined the lives of many people even years after they were thrown. You can still see the effects of those atom bombs thrown 64 years ago.
And the one who kills someone is not always the one that wanted him dead.
I think you misunderstood me, the Germans should of course have apoligized for the Holocaust, it was one of the most horrible things in our history.
But one could say the Jews should also apologize for killing Jesus(even though there is a lot of controverse about is, because one can also say that the Romans did it like you said)
It doesn't really matter who started what, they both have to apologize. The country that apologizes the first can be seen as the "bigger/better" country then.
It sounds childish in my opinion. America: Oh no, I don't want to apologize first, Japan needs to do it first!(or the other way around of course)
That way it will take a very long time before there ever comes an apology. Who will be the bigger(figure of speech) country and apologize first?
