(3,000 people, huh? You're more than a little bit off. nOr are you
saying that only 3,000 of the Hiroshima dead were innocent? See
www.warbirdforum.com/hirodead.htm )

No, he's linking the WTC atrocity (~3,000 dead) with Hiroshima.

Personally, I think you guys are just feeding a troll.

You win the prize... I am trolling. For those with a keen eye it should
have
been obvious. BTW, I think the bombing of Hiroshima was absolutely
necessary
to end the war, even though innocent civilians were killed.


There ARE NOT INNOCENT CIVILIANS in a nation that started an agressive war.
The blood of those that were NOT RESPONSIBLE for the war is on the hands of
those who WERE RESPONSIBLE.

Not to mention
the carpet bombing of civilian cities in Europe (Dresden was pretty bad)
to
weaken the resolve of the bad guys.

And knock out a bunch of German manufacturing that Germany put there BECAUSE
they figured the Allies would not bomb Dresden.

For the rest of you, get off your moral high horses. War is a dirty
business. Think about that for a change. Think about the millions of
soldiers who fought and won that war, and then go visit D.C. to find their
memorials. It is very disappointing that that generation is not properly
honored and remembered in my opinion. And you want to get upset that
someone
dented the Enola Gay???

Good up to the last line, then you use a rationalization that most parents
wouldn't accept from a four year old.
