Exactly. I see no reason both sides can't do all their laundry at once and make a nice basket full of clean Sox for the criminal class to wear...

JAPANESE peace campaigners have written to US President Donald Trump urging him to declare the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings a war crime.
A copy of the letter from the Society for Requiring the Admission of Historic Responsibility of the US Government for Dropping Atomic Bombs on Japan, dated today was sent to the Morning Star.
“This indiscriminate mass killing should not be forgiven, because it was a crime against humanity,” it read, pointing to the 340,000 deaths from the bombings on August 6 and 9 in 1945.
But Washington continues to justify the atrocities “with the excuse that they hastened the end of the protracted war” and saved lives.
The group said that former US president Harry Truman’s claim after ordering the bombing that a million US troops would have died invading Japan was “false.”
It said General Douglas MacArthur and other commanders estimated a maximum of 66,000 casualties, a quarter of them fatal.
Exactly. I see no reason both sides can't do all their laundry at once and make a nice basket full of clean Sox for the criminal class to wear...

M’Pleasure.
To who ever suggested this idiocy .. SCREW YOU. If Japan had not attacked the US they would not have had this problem ... how do you say Bataan, Nanking, Wake Island, Pearl Harbor, Singapore in Japanese? you want to list the other very many examples of Japanese war crimes.... and this IDIOT has the nerve to call Hiroshima a war crime UP YOURS
There’s been a controversy brewing in the ATL area regarding the Korean comfort women. Some folks (probably Koreans / Americans of Korean heritage) came up with a comfort women statue/memorial they wanted to put in the National Center for Civil and Human Rights at Centennial Olympic park (big Korean population and business interests in the ATL area, and the location is a high profile tourist area not far from the King Center).
Well, the Japanese got wind of this, got all flustered, and put on a lot of pressure to stop the installation of the memorial. Which was successful.
So the Koreans have now found a place that doesn’t care about Japanese pressure in an adjacent city (still “Atlanta” to someone from outside the area) to host the memorial.
A picture of the memorial can be found at both links.
Events from 75+ years ago still very much resonate today.
Is this fool willing to put the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor and the “Bataan Death March” on the top two spots on the list of ‘war crimes’?
Liberals, probably the same everywhere. And yes, I can see this happening to MacArthur down the road when they run out of Confederate statues.

These imbeciles also forgot to mention that Japan was working on the A-bomb too. The US beat them to it. BUT do you think that the Japanese would have hesitated even for a second to use the bomb if they got it first? Bull ...
Pearl Harbor was a war crime. Not Hiroshima.
Headline misleading. “Japan” didn’t ask this.
We did some firebombing against Japan with devastating effect, and prior to an invasion, we would have razed most of the country that way before mopping up. The Japs (as they were then called) undoubtedly would have lost more than the total of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Would it have been more humane to be incinerated than to be nmuked?
Tell them to take it up with President Harry Truman!
Amen to that! A combined waste of 32 years of American potential in that pic.
Don’t think the Japanes want to open up that can of worms.
Unless I am missing something, the headline is a lie, as it suggests that the government of Japan is making this stupid demand rather than some stupid organization in Japan.
The Commie Nips are lying.
