Okay pal, rewrite history if you think someone will listen. I'm just relieved that armchair Presidents like yourself do not have the power to make life and death military decisions.

I'm not rewriting history at all. The facts are there for anyone who wants to see them, even if they haven't been available until relatively recently. You may have a different interpretation, but that doesn't make me wrong or an "Armchair President". And by the way, people have already lsitened, or are you too young to remember "the Nuclear Freeze" and the "No Nukes" movements which grew out of American use of atomic weapons and the stunned horror which was brought about by the spectre of atomic warfare?

Just because those movements were ultimately futile (and, fairly) tarred as "leftist claptrap" doesnn't mean they didn't raise important questions of morality.

The decision to drop the bomb was political. Always was, always will be.
