Hi,
Okay, first off, I didn't call
you narrow-minded and stupid, I called your views narrow-minded and stupid. Big difference.
I realize fully what the Japanese have done. My grandfather was in a Japanese concentration camp for 3 years and so I have heard very fully the cruelty of the Japanese people. That does not justify murdering civillians, though. Sure, the Japanese army slaughtered thousands of innocent Chinese in virtually every way imaginable, but that does not justify the slaughter of innocent civillians not involved in the war in return. This then leads to your next comment about how "inaccurete" the bombing was, which is in reality 100% bullshit. These pilots knew exactly where they were dropping their bombs and they took full advantage of knowledge of the time of day to inflict the most casualties on
civillians possible, people they were not supposed to be killing.
You see, you are looking at this far too subjectively- look at it obectively. Killing is killing. Sometimes killing is justified, but most other times it is not. Whether a Nazi commandante orders the execution of 50 Jewish civillians or whether an American pilot drops his bombs on a crowded Tokyo marketplace, killing hundreds does not matter. They were equally heinous acts of murder. Trying to weigh these things against each other is nearly impossible, so don't even try.

Hey MangaMonkey, who started the war? The Germans. Who Bombed London every night? The Germans. I am not asking the Germans to keep apologizing for their actions from only 60 years ago, just to not try to rewrite their role in what happened.

I am not denying that both sides contributed to the horrors of WWII, some side much more than others. Trying to deny that would be an exercise in futility. I am simply objecting to your viewpoint that what the Germans are bad people and that they should not be allowed to try to start again 60 years later.
Thanks,
Manga
