But didn't we nuke the Japanese Dumb argument; (1) different time, different place, and (2) net savings of untold thousands of lives by doing it. Dumb argument? Savings of untold thousands of lives? What are you talking about? Hundreds of thousands of civilians: elderly men, women and children lost their lives. Because they were Japanese, those civilians don't count? We could have nuked a military base or a pacific atoll or even a small city and let the Japanese watch so they knew we could do it.............but instead we went straight for the jugular and hit Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Are you proud of this moment in history because I'm not. Saddam cannot make any such argument. Saddam has never killed as many civilians as we have in that one nuclear event. and didn't we use agent orange in Vietnam Yes. An herbicide. Or do you think it is a WMD? Dense. Dense? Agent orange has proven to be nearly as destructive as any chemical WMD......only its killing properties take longer. Check out all the websites re the issue.......particularly the one for the VA. Never mind........a waste of time.
