The primary problem was no one knew if the atomic bomb would work. We had carpte bombed Tokyo and other cities civilian areas killing millions of Japanese civilians and they still would not surrender.

FDR had been told we would have a million Americans killed when we invaded Japan. Japan like the Muslims believed that if you died killing an American you went to heaven and your family did also.

FDR and Truman after him were trying to get Stalin to help us defeat the Japansese. FDR and Truman figured that if we lost a half million and Russia lost a half million that was better than us losing a million.

HST and FDR were trading eastern Europe for a half million American lives.

Today we would rather Americans die than have a Iraqi get shamed. To many an American life is not worth a snail darter fish.

The only criticism and concern is that some Muslims are correct in seeing decadence in our country flirting with the nihilism that has already probably infested Old Europe.

Odd thing is that it is Capitalism perverted by the Left in the form of cultural warfare or politics with a capital in Hollywood.

This Michael Moore film ripping off a Great Film has me hopping made.

The Culture War is intensifying.

I think that FDR really was naive enough to think that Russia would give Eastern Europe some political freedom. Truman, to a certain degree, saw through that. Of course how much Truman knew about the Venona intercepts is still debated to this day.
