Hiroshima was nuked by the United States, to save one million allied lives that would have been the cost of invasing Japan! So, what do you think abou that! Are you ashamed?

Wait Yaacov!!!

Give me a second to break out a hanky and wipe these tears of shame from my eyes...... Crocodile tears, that is.

As an aside, I do feel shame for the racist bias of the Roosevelt administration and the American people when they locked up ethnic Japanese-Americans in internment camps. We certainly didn't do the same thing to the German or Italian Americans.

Having grown up near one of these (long after the war, of course), my grandmother told me about them.

But nuking two cities in order to save a million US casualties (and who knows how many Japanese dead)?? I never lost sleep thinking about it. And wouldn't lose any sleep if it were necessary to do it again under the same circumstances.

Regards,

Ron
