I never dodge the truth,Ted. And the truth is that Neo-nazi groups are just
as protected by the Bill of Rights as N.O.W. is. As long as the Aryan
nations is behaving in a lawful manner, then yes, let them use the dome.
(Remember a parade in CDA a while back?)No matter how hateful, racist or
disgusting a group's message may be, as long as they are acting lawfuly, I
will support their right to do so. You want freedom and diversity? Then you
better be ready to take the good with the bad, because true diversity has
the good, the bad and the ugly.
Now for Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
How long are people going to beat their brows and gnash their teeth over
this? People are basing old judgements on current cultural values. The old
comparing apples to oranges dillema.
Did the U.S. particularly care about civilian casualties in any theatre? No.
Did Germany, Italy Japan, Russia or the UK? No.
Remember there were no such things as smart bombs then, accuracy was lousy
and carpet bombing was the best way to destroy infrastructure. If it
happened to land on Mum's house in London, Heinrick's bakery in Berlin or
Aiko's garden in Tokyo, or kill a civilian in the NW U.S., oh well.
The U.S. did what it did and ended the war. The Japanese started it, not us.
(Conspiracy theories aside) But now there are so many "armchair commanders"
trying to second guess every single move the U.S. made that the facts get
obscured. One of those is the fact that every time the U.S. landed troops on
a Pacific Island, it was like a mini D-day each time.
Why would anything change if troops had to go ashore in Japan? They based
their judgement on past behavior. The evidence was that an invasion of Japan
would be long and bloody.
The two bombs kept that from happening. How many of us might not be here if
they hadn't dropped the bombs? My grandfather was a Naval recon photographer
in the Pacific, who's to say he wouldn't have been killed had it lasted
longer?
