DISCUSSION RE Pro's and Cons of the Hiroshima/Nagasaki bombings.
Just so that the poll on this issue doesn't get bogged down, maybe people could discuss it here?

1. For the record, I think it's a heinous crime.
We as a nation are very good at forgiving or annoying our own trespasses against other nations. For example, I'll bet 90% of Americans believe that the Kingdom of Hawaii joined the US of its own accord. It was forcefully annexed, of course...

3. hey delano: I agree with you
our nation can't even face up to what it has done to its own citizens. hypocrisy and denial (and the privilege to do both) are deeply engrained in this culture.
