So, I ask again, why the "condolences." Why do libs act as if they are not part of the America that committed MR's war crime list? Did Japan PM come to America and give condolences for Pearl Harbor. Did Japan's PM go to Nanking and express condolences? All you U.S. libs a part of the U.S., and thus part of the U.S. war crimes mentioned by MR?

Did Canada send it's PM to Korea to express condolences for it's war crimes there?

We're all a part of the world's war time criminals. Somehow it seems as though libs want to exempt themselves.

But the A bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, IMO were not war crimes. They actually ended the war in the pacific and saved many, many lives. Truman made that decision, do all you libs feel that he is a war criminal the likes of Hitler, or Hirohito... or the Canadian PM who led Canada at the time Canada committed war crimes in Korea? http://thediplomat.com/2014/11/speaking-truth-to-power-canadian-war-crimes-in-korea/ or http://apjjf.org/2012/10/3/John-Price/3678/article.html

There should be many, many more condolences coming and going from most all nations. Why just the U.S. about Hiroshima and why aren't libs just as guilty as anyone else.

So, why bother to give condolences?

Every new weapon is a "can of worms." Can you imagine being killed by a flame thrower or a napalm bomb? What's a pleasant way to die in a war? War is a terrible thing. But either kill or be killed. The fact is, Japan initiated the war with the U.S.. .. and we are suppose to give our condolences to them for killing them before they killed more of us? Truman made the most difficult, but correct decision at that particular time (IMO), and I don't think condolences were forthcoming.

Back to politics, Trump would have made the same decision, Obi, Hillary nor Bernie would have drop those bombs.

I don't see the logic in comparing a flame thrower or a napalm bomb with a nuclear bomb. The first two can kill or injure a few people at a time whereas a nuclear bomb can kill hundreds of thousands of people at a time. Do conservatives ever look at the big picture instead of focusing on only one aspect of something? Despite the fact that we fought a war with Japan, that country is now an ally of the US and we would like for them to be on our side in the event of a conflict with either Russia or China. No other country has had to suffer the effects of a nuclear attack and I see no reason not to offer condolences. Please explain why you think we should not.

Two planes into the twin towers killed 2000 people at one time. Probably being killed by a flame thrower or burned up by napalm doesn't get more inhumane.

Ally? So is Germany, why doesn't Benjamin Netanyahu go to Germany and express his condolences; or, General Patton, if he were still alive?

I've already explained my druthers. Apparently, you believe that President Truman made a grave mistake. Probably the families of those fighting in the Pacific, working their way toward Japan, island by island would have a different opinion that you.

The biggest victims of Japan's tyranny was the people of Japan. Just as are things now, here in the US with the current tyranny.

I don't think I would want the US to be compared to Israel, but what did Israel do to Germany that it should grant condolences for? The inhumanity of weapons isn't the issue, imo, it's a reason to close old grievances. I don't know why you claim that I think Truman made a mistake. Have you read this thread? I've said what my opinion is. Try accepting that.

Has the leaders of Japan gone to Perl Harbor and expressed condolences? Have you read what is pictured in that memorial Obama went to? How it depicts the US for starting the war?

Do realize that most rational folks know that there is little, if any, chance of the use of one nuclear weapon by one country. That probability did not exist in Truman’s time.
