Re: I've had trouble with this all my life. I was born in 1945
Thank you Kabu and Wiley for your heartfelt responses. Japan hides behind the bombs as victims of the war instead of the instigators that they were. This is the worst part for me, and for people who suffered at their hands. I want Japan to face up to its past, face the fact of its atrocities. Those bombs alow them to hide and become the forever victims of wages of nuclear war. That, truely irks me! Irks me to no end!

darlin' I want to be a pacifist for I don't believe in war. I know I am not because I will fight to protect my own if the danger is huge enough. Perhaps that's the answer to all this. One side felt they needed to protect for the now and the future. The other side suffered unthinkable torture. But the whole issue is so grey. Tell the family I know in Singapore to forget the baby that was cruelly killed in fron tof them that it wasn't a good idea.
All war has always done very little for anyone except to ensure that the innocent suffer.

As a Canadian whose nation had a huge part in the making of those bombs, I feel saddened for the civilian people who died as a result of the atrocity. For me there was no honour in ending that war in that particular way and I lost a brother fighting the Japanese. All that being said,good men agreed at the time that is what had to be done to end the war, but I do hope it's never done again.That was a thoughtful post luv
