War was prettier when the combatants operated under a strict code of war. Total war is an abomination. Of course cowards hide behind civilians. That's why conservatives detest such acts. And that's why I have a problem with Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

I understand some good came out of it. It probably did end the war quicker. But, heaven's sake, friends, we could get any war over in a jiffy if we'd only nuke 'em again. So why don't we? Because we know we have to avoid doing so again, if at all possible. It's too horrific. (I'm not a peacenik. I'm trying to make an ethical argument here.)

Do you understand what the Japanese were like in WWII?
