Harry Truman decided to use the atom bomb because he was convinced it was the only way to defeat the Japanese, and it was a way to save more lives by avoiding the invasion of the main Japanese islands.
There is a HUDGE difference between that and what you want to do. There is no necessity for us to nuke a city of a Muslim state, and in fact doing so would only pit more people against us, including moderate Muslims and well the rest of the world. All you want to do that for is out of hatred and ignorance. |
Yes. Now you get it. American lives are worth more than the lives of others. The enemy clearly thinks the lives of his followers are worth more than American lives. They declared war on us. Remember? They started it.
We killed over 200,000 Japanese with 2 bombs. They didn't get more mad at us and the rest of the world didn't retaliate. They saw the futility of continuing in their effort. That is not hatred or ignorance. Those are the cold hard facts. It prevented the death of thousands of Americans. Your way only leads to more death. My way stops the killing. It is a fact and history proves me right.
