TOKYO (AP) — Survivors of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are welcoming a decision by the United States to send its first ever delegation to a ceremony marking the anniversary of the attacks, but are asking for something they aren't likely to get — an apology.

Tokyo has praised the decision to send U.S. Ambassador John Roos to the Hiroshima anniversary on Friday, though some survivors of the attack, which is seen by many in Japan as an unjustified use of excessive force against a civilian population, say they have mixed feelings.

Dear Japan... this American will NEVER apologize for my forefathers kicking your asses... you deserved it... and you are a great nation today because we did kick your asses... the pos president that sends his apology tour to your party is not truly president because he is not qualified to hold that office... and speaks for no one other than himself and his islamo communist buddies.

My old man was on his way to invade Japan when the bomb hit Hiroshima. About 80 days in the belly of a troop ship, zig-zagging around the Pacific. His exact words to me about it were “they dropped the bomb, the war was over, and that was all right with your father.”

That’s as far as my opinion will ever extend.

Yes they would have, in fact they were developing biological warfare against us.

Hello??!!??

Japan war criminals killed several times the number of civilian victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Talk to the Chinese and the Filipinos...

No mixed feelings here whatsoever.

I’ve seen photos of the training material pupblished to teach Japanese civilians how to attack Americans by any and all means. Very similar to current Islamist indoctrination material. The common Leftist teaching in today’s schools is that America forced Japan to attack China, and then used that as an excuse to commit attrocities against the Japanese. [Pardon me while I puke.]
