How can I respect country that dropped two atomic bombs on Japan that affected/killed a lot of Children.
How can we respect a country that is still killing people in Iraq?.

whos asking you to? its not even my country, so i dont know why you are bringing it up.
although the nukes were hardly worse than the great amount of atrocities commited by the japanese during that conflict and the losses of life were far less than what would have been if they werent used.
and if you have an issue with someone killing terrorists and people who want to destroy the democratically elected government of that country that says a lot about you....and nothing very good.

WOW. I want to know how you get killing terrorists from killing people in Iraq. Are you implying everyone in that country is a teorrorist? If so then I really don't see a point in arguing with you. If not then I hate to break it out to you, but there is a ludicruous amount of civilians killed in Iraq, just as RC mentioned. You want something more recent? How about the fact the US bombed a wedding, again, a month or so ago? It's too late for me to find the article but I can assure you it won't be too hard to find if you really need it.
Also I hate to break it to you, but the label terrorist is srictly determined by point of view. What you may call teorrorists may be heroes for others. Good old George Washington, Jeffereson, and all the other revolutionaries were pure terrorists... from the point of view of Great Britain, yet they are heroes for the US. Those terrorists in Chechnya are also terrorists... to the russians. To other Chechnyans they are heroes. This list goes on and on, so next time take this into consideration. Usually, these "terrorists" crop up when a conquering nation shows up. Great Britain and America, Chechnya and Russia, and now Iraq and the US.
Before you eve start talking of how I can be on the side of terrorists let me just make it clear that I really don't support or like any action that may cause further death and pain to a region. I'm just putting everything in perspective for you so that you may consider other points of view.
