Comments on: Pilot Who Dropped Hiroshima Bomb Dead, 92

Commander of "Enola Gay" B-29 Which Dropped First A-Bomb On Japan Dies

That''s where we got the expression, "Sunday punched",....from the cowardly surprize attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese. If you hit first, it better be good and he better not get up again, cause if he does, you''ve had it. That''s what happened. If you sow to the wind, be prepared to reap the whirlwind.

Don''t forget the cruelty of the *** in those days. In the Philippines, they threw babies up in the air and speared them with their bayonets. They raped and pillaged....and not just a few isolated incidents....this was their trade mark. They made waterboarding look like a tea party with crumpets.

Hope Yall'' didn''t miss me to much, it was time for ''Din-din'' LOL

Two of my uncles fought in both theaters, I had six uncles in WWII and two in Korea. One of them liberated Buchanwald and I have seen pictures that made me throw up, (I thought I was tough, Later they taught me what ''tough'' really was). My uncle Paul had three Cans blown out from under him he ended up a naval Commander, I think it was a cruiser but cannot remember the name of it (old timers disease)

JN122736 said, "As for there being INNOCENT civilians killed, one must realize that the COUNTRY of Japan was the aggressor; there were no innocent civilians, children notwithstanding."

Since we were the aggressors and attacked Iraq, does that then mean there are no innocent civilians and Iraqis are within their rights to bomb us? How about the Vietnamese? The Panamanians? The Grenadans?

In the case of Iraq the answer is, sadly, yes.

We are all complicit in the Iraq fiasco because we are all Americans and our ELECTED president (twice, once before the invasion and once AFTER.) and congress sanctioned/carried-out the invasion.
They are still in power and will, for the most part, be reelected.

Just as parents/guardians are responsible for their children so are we responsible for our government%u2019s actions.

Any time one country invades/attacks another without due cause (self-defense) they lose any claim to innocence.

That truth must apply to everybody, even the United States.

Anybody with any normal amount of intelligence would not make such statements without facts to back it up. Your statements about Japanese civilians deserving to die because the Japanese government was the aggressor just shows the mindset you have. I am sure this is your justification as well why up to 100,000 Iraqis have had to die because of Bush''s decision to invade Iraq. It''s the same type of mindset which terrorists use to kill civilians as well.

With his decision to use the atomic bomb, Truman saved far more lives than were lost as a result.
Anybody with a normal amount of intelligence can figure that out.
