I can't believe what I'm hearing from some people! US went to war with Afghanistan and Iraq to "combat terrorism". With your logic, them nuking Los Angeles would have been a great resolve to end the war...
Seriously, nuking Hiroshima and Nagasaki should be considered nothing less than terrorism and crimes of war, there's no spinning that.

Do you know history?

You seem to think there is a single history with this statement... surely you understand that history is a discourse rather than a set of single truths to defend with argument (which is how some people on this thread seem to see it, so this isn't totally directed at your fine self)?
Why get so defensive over a concept? America is a just a word rather than anything real, though millions of people think otherwise about their respective nations. I think that attachment to nation is utterly insane behaviour. Overall, the US (whatever that means) did some bad things, the Japanese (if such a thing exists) did some bad things. Summary, people do bad things and people do good things and both of these terms appear to have an element of subjectivity.
There is no singular entity that does stuff in the world, even governments have a mass of views and motivations when doing things and out of this morass comes a multiplicity of actions. Historians then simplify this into a narrative that suits there own political agendas.

What I posted are Facts these things did happen. I know you are trying to intellectualize the war between the US and Japan so you don't have to take a stand
The US was nothing compared to Japan in cruelty.
Murdering innocent civilians was not something the Japanese agonized over,
The decision to drop the bomb was agonized over. Maybe talk to a ww2 vet and ask him what he thinks
Yes I am pissed at a lot of anti american sentiments on this board. Maybe a little balance
Maybe someone can start a hate thread about another country.

you're pissed off at all the anti american sentiment? I can see from your posts in here and other threads you are pretty extreme. I already knew exactly what your post was gonna say before i read it. You aren't even listening to what the people responding to you are saying.
