In this matter my friend you might want to understand what it means to walk a mile in a mans shoes befor you critisize the decision to drop the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I don\'t think that any man took pleasure in that decision. Besides, in war it is either them or us and we will do what it takes to be the last man standing just as any other nation would.
I wasn\'t intending to be sarcastic. I said notice the unlawful part because it tells you whether Hiroshima was an act of terrorism or not. If you think what the U.S. did was lawful then it wasnt terrorism. If you think it was unlawful, as I do, then it is terrorism. The bombs were unecessary, Japan was already defeated. So the U.S. committed a terrorist attack to intimidate Japan into surrendering. I\'d rather not use the word terrorist but what they did matches the definition. So for the people who think the bomb was unlawful, theres nothing wrong with calling what they did an act of terrorism.
btw, I\'m not comparing/connecting this to 9-11, sorry if I sent that idea out somehow.
