It is a war crime, in my humble opinion, to nuke two civilian cities.

War is a crime Zonder... And both of those nations thrust war upon us and the rest of the world. Just as Saddam thrust war upon the middle east with its unprovoked invasion of Kuwait.

And once war is thrust upon you, you take every action required to kill more of your enemy's people than he can kill of yours.

And as I've stated before, the firebombing of Japan killed more Japanese than did either of the atomic bombs combined.

But people only remember Hiroshima and Nagasaki because they were such large and remarkable forces unleashed instantaneously upon a target...

But few remember Tokyo, Dresden, Hamburg, Coventry... or the night time bombing of civilian population centers by the British..

Nuclear devices are merely a instantaneous means of delivering hundreds of tonnes of destructive force, rather than delivering it over the course of days, weeks, or years...

But people die in all of these cases... Being "innocent" or "guilty" matters not...

And you bet.. were it necessary to save US lives in a desperate scenario where our national security were at stake, I would NOT HESITATE to use whatever means were requried to accomplish the utter capitulation of the opposing nation/state.

And yes... I am jealous... hehe
