I agree and it was criminal as far as I am concerned. They were evil, sick butchers and were allowed to walk. We needed a Simon Wiesenthal just for going after the bastards and our complicit gubmint be damned.

Dark skinned?

I’m an American of Italian ancestry and my skin is not dark.
Neither is the skin of any of my relatives. LOL!

Japan can apologize for the conduct of some of its military during the war,

But, they have no need to apologize for the war itself.

They were squeezed to death by FDR’s policies; saw nothing but a crazy-quilt of European-dominated territories in China and the Western Pacific: Why not? Why should the Pacific be dominated by European and not Asian Powers?

Besides, too many gaijin will just make Guam tip over.

> Groves expected to have another atomic bomb ready for use on 19 August, with three more in September and a further three in October. Two more Fat Man assemblies were readied, and scheduled to leave Kirtland Field for Tinian on 11 and 14 August. At Los Alamos, technicians worked 24 hours straight to cast another plutonium core. Although cast, it still needed to be pressed and coated, which would take until 16 August. It could therefore have been ready for use on 19 August. On 10 August, Truman secretly requested that additional atomic bombs not be dropped on Japan without his express authority. Groves suspended the third core’s shipment on his own authority on 13 August.

The Japanese warlords believed they could conquer the world once their Army and/or Navy atomic bomb projects gave them the weapons needed to defeat all rivals.

The person responsible has been deliberatley missing from the picture and the media stories for years. It’s evil America that dropped the bomb on poor japan killing millions of people who is the bad guy. This is liberal progession

“Akihito was born in 1933. I cannot for the life of me understand what a 9 year old kid did that requires he apologize to the world for.”

Because his d-head father wouldn’t apologize. Pretty classy of him, in my book.
