He would have responded to Pearl Harbor with a "strongly worded message".

I don't even shake my head anymore. Has Japan ever apologized for the HORRIFIC things they systematically did to Allied POWs?
It's so nice having a president who hates the country he leads. -
If my great uncle were still alive, I could have called him up and asked him if the Japs ever apologized for Bataan. Maybe they threw a pizza party and ice cream social before the war ended. Who knows?
-
Where was the apology?

Sometimes I wonder whether purplej was dropped on his head as a child.

There isn't a nation/group of people on this planet that hasn't done something fucked up to somebody (granted, some more than others), especially in times of war. I'm not saying that any of those things were OK, but wouldn't it be better to make speeches/policies that are more geared towards making sure shit doesn't happen again instead of everybody making these hollow apologies?
-
Commemorating the only time nukes were used on people--civilians, even--before the last of those people are dead seems like a reasonable thing to do.

Fire bombs killed more civilians
Japan killed lots of civilians in China

I would have told Japan that I was sorry we didn't hit Tokyo.

Obama dishes out white guilt better than anyone

Moral equivalency is not the answer, whether on the left or right.RaceBannon said:Fire bombs killed more civilians

It's not equivalent. They started it we ended it
-
Oh ok. Bringing in what Japan did in China is not relevant to whether commemorating Hiroshima is ethical.
-
The left loves to play the moral equivalency card with regards to Iraq or Palestine, and it's largely bullshit; turning it around when it suits "us" is just as stupid.

We won. I'm glad we did.

No I think he meant the generation of winners that fought WW2. You know the one that had their hard work ruined by the spoiled baby boomers. The GREATEST generation.ThomasFremont said:
