No nation is perfect. America is a land of immigrants from all over. Even the Moslems assimilate much better than in Europe.
The best of the nations here, working together.

Empty criticism is pure envy and quite pathetic. Might as well criticize humanity as a whole then you won't sound as ignorant.

Japan's cities were fire bombed to shit, no surrender.
They lost their fleets, no surrender.
They lost islands and oil supplies, no surrender.
They got one nuke dropped on their ass, no surrender.
Their Bushido/Samurai code wouldn't allow it.
After the war, their government never claimed they were about to surrender.

How many more American soldiers and prisoners of the Japanese concentration camps would have had to die for you to be satisfied in your ignorant, self-righteous hindsight?

When you are attacked and your citizens are killed you fight back with the weapon at hand to stop it as quickly as possible. Period.

Fuck with the US? Prepare to learn a hard lesson.

Arsey, I read the article. The Soviet factor in the decision to drop the bomb is nothing new. War is hell. No one can whole-heartedly say - yes, good decision, I'd do it again. As time passes, and the visceral feel of the conflict fades, I'm sure that the consensus will shift away from Truman's decision - as a purely academic assertion. However, there is the very real political reality that war bring with it. No decision is easy when it involves thousands of casualties.
Simply saying 'all killing is wrong' is stupid. Everybody know that. It's just lip service. People who have never experienced conflict can wallow in such platitudes and keep their 'hears pure' while real men risk life and limb for their countries and their leaders. In hind sight, decisions may seem questionable but who will make them in the moment of need, you?

Blaming the USA for ending the war is excusable if you are a young child who is unfamiliar with history.
If you take into account: Japan's sneak attack, their atrocities in China and throughout the Pacific, cultural inability to surrender, and blind suicidal obedience to the Emperor, you may see the truth.
Add the fact the America was fed up with the bloody nightmare of war that it was dragged into by Germany & Japan, who were bent on world domination. All war is hell and there never is the easy solution that pleases all sides. Truman took upon himself the hardest decision that any political leader ever could. You don't have to condone it, just try to understand it. BTW, I wasn't born in USA!
