Why Americans Believe That Bombing Hiroshima Was Necessary

Why Americans Believe That Bombing Hiroshima Was Necessary - lewrockwell..com

Excerpt from this article:

"August 6, 2015, is the 70th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, a civilian city that had minimal military value...Of course, the reason that the United States wasn’t sanctioned like Germany was for the Jewish holocaust was that America was the victor and the occupier and thus it was in charge of making and enforcing the rules in the New World Order. The United States military ambushed the equally defenseless Nagasaki City three days later with the second atomic bomb to ever be used against a civilian population (that no longer had any military value to Japan)."

The Pearl Harbor Myth: Rethinking The Unthinkable

The Pearl Harbor Myth: Rethinking The Unthinkable - lewrockwell.com

Excerpt from this article:

"Twelve days before the attack on Pearl Harbor, President Franklin Roosevelt surprised his advisers by saying that war with Japan was about to begin. Secretary of War Stimson noted in his diary: The question was what we should do. The question was how we should maneuver them into the position of firing the first shot without allowing too much danger to ourselves. Mr. Victor admits he is an admirer of Roosevelt. While he is clear that Roosevelt manipulated the country into war, he does not condemn him for it..."

Unwelcome Truths - About the Bombing of Nagasaki

Unwelcome Truths - About the Bombing of Nagasaki - lewrockwell.com

Excerpt from this article:

"69 years ago an all-Christian bomber crew dropped “Fat Man”, a plutonium bomb, on Nagasaki, Japan, instantly annihilating tens of thousands of innocent civilians, a disproportionate number of them Japanese Christians, and permanently or mortally wounding uncountable numbers of others...the use of that monstrous weapon of mass destruction to destroy a mainly civilian city like Nagasaki was an international war crime and a crime against humanity as defined later by the Nuremberg Tribunal."

90% of War Deaths are Civilian, and 80% of Wars are Started by US - lewrockwell.com

Excerpt from this article:

“The proportion of civilian deaths and the methods for classifying deaths as civilian are debated, but civilian war deaths constitute 85% to 90% of casualties caused by war, with about 10 civilians dying for every combatant killed in battle.”

Japan Marks 68th Anniversary of U.S. Atomic Bombing

PressTV - Japan marks 68th anniversary of US atomic bombing:

"Japan is to mark the 68th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima by the US, the first-ever case of the use of the bomb against human beings, which resulted in the death of thousands of people."

My father turned 18 and went in the army in 1945. I think he was only in the army 6 months before President Truman ordered the atomic bombs dropped on Japan, which ended World War 2. If president Truman had not done that, the war - at least in the Pacific - would have likely gone on for awhile and my father may have been one of the many men who lost their lives in that war.

So I guess I'm happy about America's decision to drop the bomb on Japan in 1945. Or at least I understand that had America not dropped the bomb, I might never have been born. I feel a little like Chelsea Clinton must have felt when she "lamented that her Grandmother was the child of unwed teenage parents who did not have access to Planned Parenthood." On the one hand, I'm grateful for America's decision to drop the bomb on Japan back then, because it may have saved my father's life (and therefore mine, since I was born many years later!)

But on the other hand, I also recognize that America's dropping 2 atomic bombs on two Japanese cities - cities filled with innocent (non-military) men, women and children - is probably one of the biggest terrorist acts in all of history. The only other terrorist act that comes close is the 1973 decision by the Supreme Court to open the door for the murder of 55 million babies (see Report: 54,559,615 Abortions Since Roe v. Wade in 1973)

And our President has the nerve to say, "God Bless Planned Parenthood!" Why not just say, "God bless the Atom bomb?
