What the US did on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was, in my humble opinion, a war crime.

Good thing we won, eh??

Or else Harry S. Truman would have gone down in history as a war criminal, not one of the more notable US presidents.

But it's easy for you to sit on your Monaco beach, (weren't you guys under the protection of the Vichy government) and tell us that it's a war crime for the US to make every effort to terminate the war as rapidly as possible, even if we use nuclear weapons (and we knew what kind of damage they would do since we tested one at Alamagordo)..

You'd do the same thing if you had to answer to the parents of all of those Americans who would have died in an invasion of Japan, as to why you chose Japanese lives over those of your own people...
