We could have laid siege

True but that would have resulted in more Japanese deaths. Laying siege, involves cutting off supply (which we were already doing). If it had continued then you would have had massive starvation.

"I also thought nuking Japan was terrible, so what reply do you want?"

well koan, you said:

It is dangerous for the world to have nuclear nations run by 7th century philosophies, so I am for the moderanists.
you said:

We had to build the bomb because Germany had the best scientists in the world working on a nuclear bomb.
you said:

We had to develop the bomb.
you said all of the above and more to justify the bloodthirsty Democratic President Truman murdering 100's of thousands of japanese civilians. Now you admit it was a terrible act. And it was a Democrat that did it.

I notice Mr. Hurst has vanished after getting schooled about the atrocities Obama is committing. The right is certainly demented and in the pocket of the corporations, but the hypocrisy of the left is what gets me.
