After those brutal attacks on me (and my former wife), if I had burned down the homes where the attackers lived and had support, killing or mutilating the mostly innocent residents who lived there in the process, it would have been the wrong approach to say the least, no matter how easy it may have been or how justified I felt it would have been at the time.... What we did to Japan in my mind is similar, on a much greater scale of course. I do not believe in punishing all for the sins and crimes of others, whether it be on an individual or national scale.
When I was in the early school grades many moons ago, we had some rocket scientist type teachers who believed in making the whole class suffer for the sins of the troublemakers, and that was wrong too.... We can see this type of crude thinking today with Israel's bulldozing of Palestinian homes, and it stinks! And we stunk at the end of WWII with our putrid A-bombs punishing everybody, but we will probably never agree on this, so be it.
