In any case how many Tokyo style firebombing raids do you think would have been mounted before the war actually ended if it had been allowed to run it's course?

You may not like it but those atomic bombs did save lives on both sides.

Mark it on your calendars, folks. August and I agree on something.

So when can we expect that apology from Japan about Pearl Harbor? You know the one that they were going to give on the 50th anniversary of the attack but changed their minds on at the last minute. I mean if we can say sorry for vaporizing thousands of people in a millisecond they can surely say sorry for killing thousands over a couple of hours.

I'd say it'll happen around about the same time they apologise to China for Nanking...

Exactly. Japan is acting like an ostrich and burying its head in the sand about it's past.

if they apologize for Pearl

i think we can apologize for the A-bombs

i also hold the opinion that the US Military was justified in its use of the weapon.
