"In any event ... the Japanese military attacked a military target on December 7, 1941. Their "entire country" was no more behind their war effort than our entire country would become. And our final response to that attack was nuclear annihilation of civilian targets. Go ahead and rationalize that all you please. The depravity of rationalizing a nuclear attack on civilians is disgusting ... but if it will make any of you feel better, go right ahead. And sleep well."
WOW!! I'm 14 years old, I must know ALOT MORE ABOUT WWII THAN YOU DO (I can recite the chrono. order of battles in Europe, but the Pacific is not my specialty)-How can I put this blunty..RETARD--The JAPS (I use that term purly in the old sense, I have friends that are Japanesse) at that time we were fighting WERE DIRECT SONS AND GRANDSONS OF THE SAMURAI------IF YOU PAYED ANY ATTENTION IN 7TH GRADE HISTORY (Medival History of cultures all around the world) YOU WOULD KNOW that war was all the Japanesse had at that time. THEIR CULTURE, WAS WAR, and revolved AROUND RELIGION AND PURE HATRED-They believed they were doing the right thing. IF YOU KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT THE ATTACK ON PEARL HARBOR: Then you would know they INTENTIONALY strafed hospitals as far as 3 MILES AWAY from Battleship row. They also strafed and destroyed several CIVILIAN buildings, on their way to the sparse airfields in the valleys outside Pearl. About the Nuclear thing...GOD DAMN!!! DO YOU KNOW SOMTHING!
IF WE HAD NOT DROPPED THOSE TWO BOMBS- WE MIGHT NOT BE HERE NOW--WE WOULD HAVE LOST TENS OFF THOUSANDS OF MORE LIVES YOU PRICK! WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM, WERE YOU EVER TAUGHT THE CONCEPT OF CAUSE AND EFFECT? OR WERE YOU ONE OF THOSE KIDS WHO DID NOTHING LIKE I SEE EVERYDAY--THEN NOW THAT THEY READ SOME WEIRD BOOK OR SEE A FILM, THINK THEY ARE KNOLEGEABLE!!! YOUR AS LAUGHABLE AS THOSE PEOPLE WHO COME OUT OF SEEING AL GORES "THE INCONVINENT TRUTH" AND THINK THEY ARE SUDDENLY SUPER-EXPERTS ON THE NON-PROVEN FACT OF GLOBAL WARMING!!!!
You don't have any sense do you? (And im 14 years old!) After we dropped the first bomb on Hiroshima, the Japanesse refused to surender. After the second, fearing a possible third, the MILLITARY CONTROLLED GOVERMENT Surendered. Now let me get into that briefly--the Emperor of Japan was ARRESTED before Peral Harbor and the Japanesse Millirary assumed control of the goverment, SUPPORTED BY THE PUBLIC. NEXT:

Funny, I thought our rights were "inalienable," not granted to us by ANYONE. That's the whole point of the United States of America - - recognition of inalienable rights. And please feel free to point me to anywhere in the law where non-citizens have unequal rights to justice. The Bush administration made-up from whole cloth the notion of "enemy combatants" precisely so they could deny their rights to justice, and deny them the treaty rights under the Geneva Conventions. The Supreme Court has twice held that the legal limbo in which the "enemy combatants" have been placed is illegal, and the Bush administration has twice refused to comply with the orders of the highest court in the land. Tell me again how we're not sliding towards totalitarianism.
YOU ARE SUCH A WEIRDO!!
DONT YOU KNOW THAT ALL THOSE "ENEMY COMBATANTS" THAT SHOULD BE TRIED AND SHOT ARE GETTING FIRST CLASS MEALS IN HOTEL LIKE FACILITYS IN GUANTANAMO BAY? THEY GET TO DECIDE WHAT THEIR FED, THEY GET TO PRAY, THEY ARE ALLOWED EVERYTHING BUT TOTAL FREEDOM! EVEN TV!! THEY ARE TREATED BETTER THAN ACTUALL CITIZENS THAT ARE IN JAIL HERE!!! HIGHEST COURT IN THE LAND---BULL...THEY WERE THE HIGHEST SACKS OF NOTHINGS IN THE LAND---HOPEFULLY ROBERTS WILL PUT THINGS BACK TOGETHER...
Hmmm, to what equal treatment do you think I am insisting both societies deserve? I am saying civilians of both societies deserve to be FREE OF ATTACK. That is the equal treatment I support. The Japanese supported their country's war effort, and the Americans supported ours. The Japanese people were no more a legitimate target of war than the American people were.
