re: So you tell me, whom do I now owe that excuse? You potty mouth...

I felt uncomfortable with my language, not with my sentiment.

You are the hypocrite. Can't you admit it? It won't kill you, everybody makes a fool of themselves once in a while.

Myths of Hiroshima

gulf-news.com

But it's not that straightforward. As Tsuyoshi Hasegawa has shown definitively in his new book, Racing the Enemy and many other historians have long argued it was the Soviet Union's entry into the Pacific war on August 8, two days after the Hiroshima bombing, that provided the final "shock" that led to Japan's capitulation.

Bin Laden repeatedly refers to Hiroshima in his rambling speeches. It was, he believes, the atomic bombings that shocked the Japanese imperial government into an early surrender and, he says, he is planning an atomic attack on the US that will similarly shock the US into retreating from the Middle East.
