In an odd sort of way the use of the two atomic bombs saved far more lives than what the toll would have been if they weren't used."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe.

Jimmy -- NEWSFLASH!!! In WWII, we were actually fighting OTHER COUNTRIES, not Islamic extremism. Your incredibly naive view that "the war will be over" when we leave Afghanistan is.... well... just dopey. There will be no "surrender ceremony" with the Islamist extremists in your lifetime."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe.

The Germans were working on making an atomic bomb, which is why we ended up with several of their scientists who wanted to defect to the USA and work on our bomb.
The only reason we didn't use an atomic bomb on Germany was because they were already defeated by the time our bomb was operational. The bombs used in Japan probably ended the war years faster than if we fought conventionally. It saved thousands of Allied lives by forcing the Japanese to surrender and many Japanese lives too.
Yes it was horrible what happened, but so were conventional bombs and fighting. War isn't pretty no matter how it is done. But sometimes it has to be done. Either that or just roll over and give up our countries and freedoms to anyone who decides to take it.
We didn't start WW2. We were actually staying out of it directly until the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. That was probably the stupidest thing they could have done. They threw the first punch. We threw the last.

Btw, you're assertion was that the original deal, the deal that at the time so many republicans signed on to, was not for the same 5 individuals. It was!Last edited by JimL; 06-07-2014, 08:47 PM.

And, if you'd move to Siberia, there'd be one LESS naive person in this country.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
