America is very concerned for humanity indeed. And for Japan too. Very concerned. The atomic bomb made a great good to humanity. Yeap. Do I have to say more?
Yeah, I mean it's not like Japan sucker punched the US on December 7th by attacking Pearl Harbour and FORCING THE US INTO A WAR WE HAD BEEN STAYING OUT OF UP TILL THAT POINT!
What did you expect the US to do? Curl up like a bunch of nancy boys and start sucking our thumbs and crying?
Nope I expected to answer to that but not with an atomic bomb! It was a great victory indeed to see children without hands or burned by radiation! I cryed for the young Americans who died in Pearl Harbor. But the damage the Americans made with that bomb had effect in the whole humanity.
Yeah, it effectivly told the rest of humanity to not mess with the US.
I am not terribly fond of the fact we dropped the bombs on civilians anymore than you are. I think in war your only targets should be military installations, but this was back in 1941 and there weren't a whole lot of rules for war like we have today. War basically meant you tried to screw the opponent over in anyway possible to get them to wave the white flag.
Since then, we've gone through several different administrations as well as a few generations and nowadays, the US doesn't target civilians, we target military installations and the like.
To be perfectly honest with you, I'm not seeing your connection between the US retaliating against Japan in the early 40's and the US ousting Saddam and his regime today.
