Oh, so we stoop to their level "because they started it"? How about we actually be better than them?

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.
What I can't believe is that I'm actually trying to convince someone out of committing genocide.

Did you read ANYTHING that I wrote on this comparison with Truman? Or are you just fucking retarded? Please, seriously, tell me, because if you're retarded, then I know its not your fault. Because I'm seriously begining to think you just have some mental deficiency to explain the pure stupidity of the reflection of your thinking in your posts.

This is NOT WWII. Truman dropped the bomb because he was convinced it would save lives, and that's actually debatable and you have a case for arguing that about WWII even though I might disagree. But in this case, there is absolutely no necessity to drop a nuke on a Muslim city. ALL it will do is unite the entire Muslim community (moderates and all) against us. It will also cause us to lose any lick of support from ANY country in the international community including the United Kingdom. The only thing it would succeed in is the guarantee of the killing of hundreds of thousands of innocents, mostly moderates, and the possibility of killing a handful of radicals that might possibly aide the enemy.

There's a difference between total war and therefore a tactic as was Truman's decision, and total MADNESS that is your doctrine.
