Much as many German citizens regret the actions of past government action during wartime, So do Americans...but this does not change the Fact thet the actions occured. War is a nasty business, with the goal of destroying an enemy as quickly as possible with as little loss to yourself as possible. In this the United States was successful, hopefully the world learned a valuable lesson from this action......as it was inevitable (in my opinion) once the technology was created.
I was not there....and must rely on the opinions of others to evaluate the need to use these weapons, but I can still regret that they were used at all, and I do. This does not in any way change history. We can blame Hitler, Einstein, or the Pilot that flew the Bomb.....which will accomplish nothing. Just as blaming an entire people for the past is counter productive.
