The Attack of The Japanese Empire was a attack from Military forces on a Military Target, a Military used Harbor. I did some reserch and found out that the attack killed 68 civilians and 2,403 American Military Personell. How much Civilians did the Attack with the A-Bomb cost? I am sure as hell more Civilians then Military!

The US excuse is that the bombings ended the war months sooner than would otherwise have been the case, saving many lives that would have been lost if the planned invasion of japan had taken place. Well, my attitude is that if you go to the Army you should be ready to get your Head blown off anyway, and it would have saved many, many Japanese civilian lives.
I am REALLY getting tired of this comaprison, WWII in the Pacific was NOT just between Japan and the United States. Or are 10 million Chinese and however many Koreans and Fillipinos not important??? Well not for a European maybe, I mean you do know the US military certainly killed more German civilians than US civilians killed by German forces (I know in Europe the USAAF tried precision bombing more German civilians were killed by RAF bombing or the Red Army) still you can make your point without distorting history. Pearl Harbour was not an honourable attack against a military target, it's real target was Asia, and purpose to allow the aggression against China and other places to go unchecked. Sort of like Hitler's attack against France and attempt to knock out Great Britain by, while partly to avenge the humiliation of 1918, was mainly to allow Germany to keep the western front quiet to allow Barbarrosa to proceed unmolested. Honestly both sides here are getting hysterical.
