He'd probably do it too. Should Pearl Harbor survivors ask for an apology from Japan?

 

erhm..... 

Differnt situations you cant really compair?

One is a military base, with tiny amount of people (like 2000 people died).

vs main city(s), where hundres of thusands of people died, and millions where made sick by radiation poisoning.

 

You understand that "hundres of thusands" (potentially millions of sick people) > "2000 ish" right?

You also understand in war, in general you attack military with military, and leave the civilians alone.

The A bombs, where targeted at hurting civilians.

 

I dont think he should apology for others mistakes or choices.

However the question you raised is just wack.

But you're also forgetting about US territories such as Wake Island, Guam, and the Philippines where both military and civilian populations were abused and tortured by the Japanese Imperial Army. Many people did die....slowly and painfully in many cases. As I said before, the atom bomb was the more sane approach to ending the war. I don't believe in revenge but war is war, which is why war should be avoided at all costs.
