Pacifier

LOL thats priceless. So germans have no right, not now and not in the furure to critizise anyone because our atrocities in the past?

Just for your information. I never assisted in the invation of another nation.

Once again one atrocity doesn't jusitfy another. If you're wife gets raped you don't have the right to rape the other guys wife too.

another "unimportant guy" who thought the bomb was unneccecary:

"In 1945 Secretary of War Stimson, visiting my headquarters in Germany, informed me that our government was preparing to drop an atomic bomb on Japan. I was one of those who felt that there were a number of cogent reasons to question the wisdom of such an act? During his recitation of the relevant facts, I had been conscious of a feeling of depression and so I voiced to him my grave misgivings, first on the basis of my belief that Japan was already defeated and that dropping the bomb was completely unnecessary, and secondly because I thought that our country should avoid shocking world opinion by the use of a weapon whose employment, was I thought, no longer mandatory as a measure to save American lives.
