Besides, I have never asked nor do I
want my government to kill civilians so that I can sleep safe
at night. As a matter of fact, if I knew that is what my government
was doing, I would not sleep safe at night.


Tell ya what, get the bad guys to move their military targets away from
civilian populations and the civilians will stop dying. That is true for
all
countries and organizations including the U.S. and Al Quaida.

Your insistance that civilians were deliberatly targeted in Hiroshima and
Nagasaki would only hold water if the military targets were no where near
civilian population centers.

In Hiroshima the aiming point was in a largely residential area and
the targetting selection required that the military target be in a large
urban
area.


I ask again, how would YOU have taken out the military targets in Nagasaki
and
Hiroshima without harming civilians.

Conventional bombing and I haven't claimed that no civilians would be harmed
so don't you try that strawman as well.


As a Jew I take offense at your comparing Dachau to Hiroshima.

When did I do that?

Many thousands
of humans died there, not just Jews, but I have been there and have seen
the
grave markers.

Many thousands of Japanese civilians died in Hiroshima.
