I wasn't around back then, but as an American I feel no sympathy to the Japanese affected by the bombings of Hiroshima or Nagasaki. It was a good thing that those people died, that those terrible weapons destroyed two cities and ultimately caused Japan to surrender, ending the war and preventing the deaths of potentially hundreds of thousands of Americans.

This should be the purpose of war - to destroy the enemy until they either submit or are extinguished.

I'm happy that we have a friendly relationship with Japan now, but in no way should America ever apologize for doing the right thing to protect her interests or the lives of her citizens.

This effort to whitewash history will only cause humanity to repeat the tragedies of the past.

This was the last war that we won. Our politicians don't look back at history. We were loved or hated by the world after that event but we had the world's respect due to the power and ability to enforce our wishes around the world. We gave countries a chance to imitate us or not.

Unfortunately we forgot how to win wars such as Korea, Nam, Iraq 1, Iraq 2 and Afghanistan.

wars are won when we kill people and break things.
