Modern illiberal “liberals” — in their eagerness to remove all punishment from the world, end up inviting more and worse punishment.
If the atom bombs were terrible, imagine an invasion of Japan. It was the grace of God that we found ourselves with a Japan willing to surrender having suffered vastly less carnage on its OWN part, than would have otherwise been needed (forget about us, just think about them).
Only a Christianized country could think like this. We forgave a repentant Japan to which we had administered a strategic spanking that they could not ignore.
I hope Christ consciousness comes back to America. There are so many advantages to it. But it can’t be a shallow, government-led religion. It has to be firm in the grass roots.
Well said.
And look at the result (Japan) — an economic superpower of innovation and quality. What is wrong with this?
Heck, if we hadn’t used the bombs we probably still be fighting them or would have lost our resolve and abandoned the war years ago. Neither very good prospects for the region and the rest of the Pacific.
One other possibility is that Russia would have finished them off. There is a rivalry between the two countries.
