Oh yes. It would have been much better to let the war drag on, more innocents killed. More of our soldiers killed. I'm sure the leftists would prefer that. Absolutely certain they would prefer that.
Don't bomb Pearl Harbor. Don't march our soldiers to death at Bataan.

Damn, ya beat me to it.
Hey Butterheads, ya started it, ya lost, get over it!
Wonderful memorial service at the Covington Cathedral Basilica here yesterday. The Sakura Ladies Chorus performed " Hirosima Peace Song" and "Furusato" ( My Country Home). Thats the news from middle Americas alternate universe.
Dropping the bomb to end the war, support ping.
Naturally, Leftist history revisionists refuse to recognize this simple fact.
"When can we have that bomb?
Extract from, "The Last Great Victory" (Book, p. 653 Hardcover Edition), 1991, Stanley Weintraub
It was the afternoon of August 5, 1945. To a group of six hundred army officers assigned to the Hiroshima garrison, Professor Yoshitaka Mimura of Hiroshima Bunri University, a theoretical physicist, was explaining the scientific possibilities of new weapons which might reverse the tide of war. Japan had little Navy or Air Force left. Within months a massive invasion of the home islands seemed likely. Could you tell us, sir, a young lieutenant colonel asked, what an atomic bomb is? Is there any possibility that the bomb will be deployed by the end of this war?
Mimura chalked a rough sketch on the blackboard to illustrate the [nuclear] reactions required. Scientists at Tokyo University, he explained, have theoretically penetrated the secrets of nuclear fission. If they could apply their theories practically, an atomic bomb could be smaller than a piece of caramel candy, but, if exploded five hundred meters above a populated city, it could destroy 200,000 lives.
When can we have that bomb? Well, it is difficult to say, Mimura answered, knowing nothing of any Japanese enterprise to apply fission theory to bomb-making. But I can tell you this much: not before the end of this war.
Yup. Payback can be a real b%tch! They started the war, we ended it. With an exclamation point.
THE hisory channel had a documentary on why we did what we did ,the japanese would not have surrendered ,and if we were to invade tokyo and other parts of japan, they were waiting and training all the peole there for suicide missions, you cant fight an mindset like that with conventional weapons, after all the rotten things the japanese did to our soldiers we still allowed them to save face we rebuit that country .
Hmmm...two, three generations after the fact and they're still yelling "peace". I'd say the bomb was pretty effective.
According to the revisionist historians, the US dropped the A-bomb on innocent Japanese civilians purely out of racism. Perhaps the good mayor of Hiroshima should visit Pearl Harbor, talk to the survivors of Japanese concentration camps and especially read the accounts of the Japanese occupation of Nanking.
Dear Japan: Pearl Harbor has been annihilated by you. Paybacks are a b****.
Keep in mind the vast majority of the populace has either been brainwashed by the education system ( I've seen my daughter's history book ...Jap involvement glossed over with sweet cream on top ) or through ignorance is happily unaware of what really went down . The average Nippo knows virtually nothing about WW2 unless it involves HITLER .
I would like to ask the mayor what he thinks about the dirty bomb attack on San Francisco the Japanese had planned for Aug. 17, 1945.
It seems this man has a selective memory. Pearl Harbor attacked December 7, 1941 by none other than JAPAN!
