‘Japan killed millions in Asia, but that doesn't mean dropping atomic bombs is justified,’ he said. “Possessing nuclear weapons in itself is a sin.”
Can a Catholic tell us where in the Bible it says it is a sin to have nuclear weapons?
This one ought to be good.
There is grief enough for everyone in this world.
The atom-blasted Madonna is a haunting image indeed.
I wish someone would A-Bomb Madonna.
The only people who need to answer for what happened during the war marched under the flag of your country, Mr. Fukahori.
Mary could just as well be saying “This is what you get when you follow a pagan militaristic emperor to the bitter end. Good thing for you guys he got smart before it was too late.”
It is little known that Nagasaki was the center of Christianity in Japan and that the A-bomb all but wiped it out.
The bombs were called Fat Man and Little Boy. There was no “fat boy.” What else did the “journalist” get wrong?
Idiot.
misread the headline...I thought that Madonna’s act had bombed in Japan
That said the atom bombs ended the comfort woman,unit 731,the hell ships, the orders to kill all allied internees and POW's, the 100,000 civilians dying each month under the Japanese empire.the bombs bought all that to a screeching halt
in 1945, the Japanese Army was killing 10,000 people each day in China, Korea, SE Asia and the Western Pacific.
If anyone at the time had any better ideas on stopping that and ending the war quickly, I would like to hear them.
We also knew of the horrors of Japanese P.O.W. Camps.
I was too young to know too many people but I bet not one in the neighborhood said, "Oh my how awful.. it'd be much better for the war to continue."
Forty eight years ago after my ship the USS Renville put in to Sasebo, I traveled up to Nagasaki and saw the remnants of the Cathedral with one wall standing with St. Josephs statue pointing to the skies. My dad was in the 509th Composite Bomb Group that was insrumental in dropping the bomb on Hiroshema and Nagasaki. I hate to bring up anecdotal experiences but it is what it is. The 509thsaved many American and Japanese lives.
Protesters of our use of atomic bombs against Japan can go to hell.
Using them saved a milion lives and if only ONE was an American servicemans then it was worth it.
Remember Japans attack on Pearl Harbor and their barbaric treatment of China and our captured prisoners.
Hey Japen,
Up yours.
Oh, almost forgot the other historical reason, no one in America was feeling particularly charitable towards the Imperial Army of Japan or the people who spawned them:
