Hiroshima and Nagasaki

With the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the U.S. DIRECTLY targeted civilians.  They also directly targeted civilians with the firebombing of Tokyo and Dresden.  The Japanese and German GOVERNMENTS committed many atrocities, but that in no way makes it moral or right for the U.S. to murder civilians in those countries.

You can make all the arguments you want about how murdering these civilians brought an early end to the war.  This does not change the fact that civilian men, women, and children were murdered.  When other people do this, we call them terrorists.  That label applies equally here.

LOL!

1:  Hundreds of thousands of CIVILIANS were murdered in the 2 atomic bombs and the firebombing of Tokyo.  Men, women, and children.  I would love to know how the children were supporting the 'war machine'.  And are you really sure the civilians supported the war?  Remember that this was not a democracy, but a people ruled by an emperor.

2:  You just admitted that directly targeting CIVILIANS is OK if it achieves your political goals.  Way to support terrorism, moran!
