tancredo's remarks inflamed the masses and just made the jobs of troops now in the mideast that much tougher

I must have missed the protests and mass murders that followed since Tancredo made his remarks. Again, it's a darn good thing he didn't flush a koran down the toilet while making these remarks, because that we know for sure would have led to mass mayhem in the islamic world.

As to not dropping the bomb on the emperor of Japan, I think Truman was wrong not to have done it. The first nuke dropped should have been on the emperor's house. If we dropped the first on the emperor, we may not have needed to drop the second. I think Truman felt that the Japanese would have fought on and never surrendered had we killed the emperor, their quasi-god, and that is why he didn't do it. My belief is killing him would have allowed them to more easily surrender to us after the first atomic bomb drop and saved us and them from having to drop a second bomb.

You're to tender to the idiot who has this idiotic idea that if he repeats his idiotic bleating enough times it becomes true.
