Hmmm. When you consider that I was not born till nearly 20 years after the
fact. And that at the time my family had still not immigrated to the US, I
would have to say that "I" did not kill anyone in Hiroshima or Nagasaki.

I just wanted to know if you opposed to the taking of human life, the use

of
nuclear weapons or both. It would seem that the sanctity of human life

means
nothing to you. That it is just the use of nuclear weapons that you object
to.


Rubbish. Soldiers have a duty to "die for their country". Innocent civilians
don't. As a soldier myself I was ready to kill the enemy soldier and to die
at his hands if I failed. Dropping nukes on a civilian population is a war
crime.

Or maybe.... Just maybe. You are against any weapon that would secure a
victory for the US, no matter how many lives it saves.


Do you hear any complaints from me regarding precision guided missiles?

If I am out of line with that statement I apologize. But I don't think I

am.

You are.

Could I ask where you are from and why it is that you hate the US?


I am from NZ and I do not hate the US as much as I pity the fools who think
that the US is above and beyond all international law. For you idiots the US
is all good and can do no wrong. You very quickly forget or choose to ignore
the attrocities that the US has committed in the many wars that it has
waged. By no means am I saying that the enemy that the US was fighting was
without fault but to believe that the US fights fair and just wars is a
joke.
