In my opinion Truman action(s) is directly in crimes against humanity zone( killing civilians in mass numbers).

Good god.
Crimes agianst humanity? About 36,000,000 (That's 36 MILLION) civilians in the allied countries had died by the end of the war.
36 million. Yet you go on about Truman commiting crimes against humanity?
Let me give you a little course:
In total, about 62 Million people died in the war. According to wikipedia's estimates,
-The allied side (Stalin, Roosevelt, Churchill, Kai-shek, and de Gaulle) had ~50 million total dead, with 14 million going to military forces, and the other 36 million going to the civilian death count.
-The axis side (Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito) had ~ 12 million dead, with 8 million going to military units and 4 million to the civilian count.
Now, with those numbers, a ratio can be made between the amount of total civilian deaths (both sides) to the amount of military deaths. The numbers?
22 million troops dead
40 million civilians dead
or,
35.48% military
64.52% civilian
Do you not think that it was in Truman's best intrests to bring the war to a close as quickly as possible? What would you have preferred? Millions more dead?

I (as an American ) am ashamed looking at idiots who are proclaming that we live in the best country in the world! It is good for internal propaganda, but when they declare it outside the country .... LOL

You (as an American) are pathetic. Do you mind me stabbing an American flag on a sharpened pole through your heart and pinning you to the ground?

In a country entirely made up of people who trace their ancestory back to tens, if not over a hundred, foreign countries is not a "lack of culture." Compare the cultures of the people in any European country and I can guarentee that the United States of America is more diverse.
I can't belive I even bothered to post here.
