Is this a pop-quiz, epstein? You are eroding my patience. If you have a point, make it. I am humoring you for now, to see if anything will come out of this, but my patience is eroding. Who were the ones making the big mistake in early august 1945? The Japanese or the Americans? Depends on what you believe is the mistake being made, I suppose. Do you have a point? Is the point "Japanese civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki deserved being incinerated because they were making some big mistake"? I think you should lobby to have a clause put into the definition of a war crime to state that 'wanton destruction of cities' and 'killing of civilians' is not to be a war crime if their leaders make a "big mistake", definition of which, of course to be provided by the winning side in the conflict...
