Woulda, coulda, shoulda. You are basing your opinions on something that DIDN'T happen. Pearl Harbor happened and so did Hiroshima. If the Japanese were "about to surrender", they sure hid it well.

Of course, here is an elevated photo view of Nagasaki City today. A really nice, bustling city that is on a picturesque bay.

I don't know any more about these terrorists than you do, I know nothing. When they bombed the Trade Centre I couldn't believe what was going on. We've fought many enemies at different times. But we knew who they were and where they were. These people, we don't know who they are or where they are. That's the point that bothers me. Because they're gonna strike again, I'll put money on it. And it's going to be damned dramatic. But they're gonna do it in their own sweet time. We've got to get into a position where we can kill the bastards. None of this business of taking them to court, the hell with that. I wouldn't waste five seconds on them.

Great read. A lot of his comments gel well with an article from nearly 16 years ago in the (now defunct) Civilization Magazine. Cool.
I've kept this issue in my bookshelft (over four or five moves!) for all this time and re-read it every once in a while.
