“...dispatching of a delegation to the commemoration of the 65th anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing...”

I am so f&^%$#@ sick of this howling, theatrical charade!! The "O" administration is not only farce, it is broad farce ...

If “O” had a single clue what being the President of the United States of America was, he'd look in the mirror and cringe at the stuff he does and says.

The single thing that stands out in my mind about the campaign for the election in 2008 is listening to clips of Obama's Berlin "apology" speech. I clearly remember how infuriated I was. All else aside, I could not and cannot understand how any American could listen to that and still vote for the man.

Anyone who does not believe that we live in the greatest nation on the face of the Earth (not a perfect nation, but yet the greatest!) does not deserve to even run for public office, much less the presidency.

Hearing that he wished to apologize to Japan for Hiroshima and Nagasaki is beyond infuriating. Obama is clearly not fit to occupy the same office that Harry Truman occupied. He's not worthy to be serving coffee nor even vacuuming the floor in the Oval Office, IMHO.

Clearly, Obama knows nothing of the bad/worse historical choices in the decision to drop the bomb. Was America to lose hundreds of thousands of men in an invasion of Japan, to settle for a negotiated armistice that left the Tokyo militarists in power, to continue the far more deadly fire raids (enhanced by closer Okinawa runways and, soon, the transference of American heavy bombers from postwar Europe), rather than drop the atomic bomb?

Clearly, he indeed knows nothing, cares nothing, and understands, if possible, even less. Yes, the consequences of dropping the bombs were horrible. The consequences of not having done so, I believe, would have been even more horrible. Obama has no realization that President Truman's decision has a living legacy, in the lives of the people both in America and in Japan who are now living but who would never have been born if the war had gone on.

As far as I'm concerned, an apology is the same as saying that our lives aren't important, mean nothing, and that the world would have been better off without us.
