>>"now proven wrong on this issue for which I have made silly arguments that are baseless and the result of university sociology professors"
Nobody has yet to prove that it was ok to commit a regional genocide.
And the arguments I present aren't silly. Some people simply don't have the mental formation to actually consider them....
And, I'm not an academic nor stuck in an ivory tower..
Once again, personal attacks do not constitute winning a debate...
Based on experience of war on two theaters of operation, we knew with a good degree of proof that many many more people would die if we engaged in a land war on Japan. Additionally, the soviets wanted to invade Japan and would have slaughtered many many more people than would have been killed in our attacks.
Your statements regarding peoples' relatives is simply shallow, insincere, and ignorant. I would rather drop 10 or 15 more a-bombs on cities than risk hundreds of thousands of our own soldiers. The fact is that it was us or them. They bombed Pearl Harbor, slaughtered hundreds of thousands of innocent Chinese, and would have fought to the last man in a land war.
For you to believe otherwise is pure fantasy and delusion. You ignore thousands of years of history and try to sit there like you are some enlightened person when you are not.
The way you charachterize us on FR who supported us is like challenging someone who says 2 + 2 = 4. On this issue, in terms of our securing victory, the answer is that clear. Sorry if it offends your sensibilities.
Is it ok for a lion to kill a gazelle? Is it ok if a volcano explodes? Is it ok that the Europeans killed off most of the Native Americans and populated North America? Is it ok Spain invaded Central America and created the Hispanic race? Is it ok everyone dies someday? None of these things are "ok" but that is the real world. Welcome to it.
And you have yet to prove that the strategic atom bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were, in reality, any form of regional genocide.
I see that you are capable of using dysphemisms as readily as others are prone to euphemisms. Both are are intellectually disingenuous and a bad habit.
BTW, do you know Ward Churchill? Just asking.
