...we must dispose of one last mantra that has been too broadly and uncritically accepted: the nonsense that, if we win by fighting as fiercely as our enemies, we will become just like them. To convince Imperial Japan of its defeat, we not only had to fire-bomb Japanese cities, but drop two atomic bombs. Did we then become like the Japanese of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere? Did we subsequently invade other lands with the goal of permanent conquest, enslaving their populations? Did our destruction of German citiesalso necessary for victoryturn us into Nazis? Of course, you can find a few campus leftists who think so, but they have yet to reveal the location of our death camps. Powerful logic.

Powerful logic. Yes but out of place on this forum, or so we will be told soon. Logic is only applicable to Lefties and RINO's since they are intellectually superior.
