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.

Did you know that the bombing of Tokyo in March of 1945 was actually the most devastating bombing campaign ever and resulted in more direct deaths (nearly all civilian) than either of the nuclear bombings later that year?

Amazingly though nobody seems to have a problem with that, and only ever seem to care about the two nuclear attacks.  So if the Allies had firebombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki instead of utilizing the atomic bomb, essentially killing the same amount of people, would you still have an issue with the attacks?
