The simple fact is the firebombing of Japan did far more death and destruction than the 2 nukes did. Fire bombing/ carpet bombing cities ect was standard practice by all militaries during WW2. The only reason Nukes are made a big deal is because it was the 1st time and it only took 1 airplane where as previously the same damage could be done, but only with many bombers and bombs.. US dropping Nukes is what made all civilized nations agree to not bomb civilians anymore. With out nukes everyone would still do what Assad and Russia did to Syria or what Saudis are doing in Yemen or what Israel does to Palestine. If you notice, since WW2 no nation that took part in WW2 has directly targeted civilians as a war tactic except Russia.. Yes there is always some civilan deaths and buildings hit, but no one but Russia still actively targets civilians.. Israel & the Saudis didn't sign any treaties.. Russia did but they violate it.. |

Robbie are you now the same as vendilldo who thinks everything someone says is in reply to him? Did I quote you in my reply... I realize you think the world revolves around you but not everything is about you... |
If we were not the first to drop the first nuke, we probably would never have realized how horrible they are/were.
It was a learning lesson for us and the rest of the wold should take note of our ignorance as we have. Talk is cheap. |

" WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump may not need Congress to go to war with Iran. That's the case his lieutenants have been quietly building as tensions between the two nations have escalated. The key elements involve drawing links between al Qaeda and Iran and casting Iran as a terrorist threat to the U.S. — which is exactly what administration officials have been doing in recent weeks. That could give Trump the justification he needs to fight Iran under the still-in-effect 2001 use-of-force resolution without congressional approval. " It is time for the senate to act ! |

I mean it's NICE for the Senate to give their "blessing", but with the laws that Congress itself passed handing over a ton of their responsibilities to the Executive Branch...no President has needed Congress to send troops in anywhere in decades. It's way too late to do anything about the tensions in Iran. BUT...the House and Senate should immediately repeal the laws that they passed giving this power to the Executive Branch. We basically have the House and Senate full of lifetime power-hungry bureaucrats who don't want to do ANYTHING. Instead of looking at decisions based on what's good for the country, they are too busy weighing each vote to determine if it's good for their careers. :( |

Yes, our presence there and our influence hasn't helped, but the problems there existed long before we ever arrived. For starters, most of them are part of a religion that seems like it is a couple hundred years behind the rest of the developed world. You can't expect to rationalize with fanatics. It just doesn't work that way. If the US completely pulled out of the Middle East and even abandoned our support of Israel, those Middle Eastern countries would just go back to hating and fighting each other. |

conclusion: the USA targets exclusively civilians...1 million dead just in iraq...all civilians... |
I'm currently watching The Vietnam War and it's fascinating.
It's revealing how Americans were sent to die to save political ideals, egos and careers. It also reveals how bad the whole thing was created, led and carried out. How mistakes were made by politicians right down to the men on the ground. Jumping forward 50 years I see the same mistakes made by other politicians, on both sides of the political divide. |

so there was no such thing as a monster for which so many americans had to give their lives to fight. but let's have a look at the "won" wars like lybia, afganistan, iraq etc.... there is no trade - today there is only terror and blood. america's strategy has failed all along the line and the only visible result is that no country in the world has more debts than the USA. and now the usa is trying to fight this problem with the same mistakes as always. the CAN't go well |

And for everyone that thinks the USA is always right, I suggest that a wonderful way to test your belief system is to watch the Oliver Stone documentary series "The Untold History of the United States." It's a very balanced and objective (and fascinating) series that will give anyone that isn't too far gone in the propaganda and brainwashing a LOT to think about. |
