thats not really scary...........they have always been at war. sort of their culture, what is scary is when we try to force our ideas on people who do not want to change......
And which negative ideas have we forced on anyone?
.
I think we forced the negative idea of nuclear energy onto japan.
but hey..ya gotta do whatcha gotta do.
I just wish they "DO what they gotta DO" and be done with it.
before someone screams "Global Warming/Nuclear Winter"
If that were the case were is the nuclear winter from us "bitchslapping japan".
Or.. the nuclear winter that we should have due to all the nuclear testing in arizona and new mexico.
HOGWASH.. LITE EM UP!
FOOM FOOM.. pause FOOM FOOM
pause.. any questions?
I don't know if you really want to get Tommy started....
Yeah, I have one...
what are you talking about?
Quick answer to why---Pearl Harbor!
KS
Pearl Harbor was a valid military target even in peace time.
If you put the shoe on the other foot, Say Japan sailed it's entire battle group to an island just about midway between us and them, then lined up all their ships in little rows in an almost taunting manner....dont you think the US would have done the same? Hell yea!
Do you also believe that Dick Cheney remote control piloted the planes that crashed into the World Trade Center?Dont get me wrong, i too regret the loss of life at pearl.
but we did build a naval base smack in the middle of a resort area then fill it up with ships all lined up in neat little rows.
even a small child playing electronic battleship doesnt make that mistake.
kinda makes you wonder why we seperated the air group from the surface group and then sacrificed all those old obsolete warships..dont it?
Actually, our reason to drop atomic bombs was to gain surrender and avoid an invasion that would have doubtless cost a million lives.Anyways...fast forward to today.
Our retaliation for japan attacking a valid military target was to nuke two major metropolitan areas.
Shouldn't our response to 9-11 be "similar"?
You're unbelievably ignorant about this. You're actually blaming the US for taunting the Japanese into attacking us. That's like blaming the rape victim because she wore slinky clothes.
The fact is that the war with Japan had already started in the Aleutians, and Japan attacked first.

Dropping the bombs ended the war.
Is the the great Cornholio or something?
No he just debate like Fossten LOL.. poke :shifty: poke.... he's always right no matter what.. LOL... as long as it fits his ideals...
Please tell me after 9/11 were should we have droped the a-bomb.
Are you saying to drop one on the gun market ?

Those "old and obsolete" warships were the backbone of the US Navy's Pacific Fleet at the time--aircraft carriers didn't supplant battleships as the top vessels until we were into WWII. This was common naval thinking at the time, even by Yamamoto, whose forces concentrated on the battleships, missing the more important strategic targets--the fuel/supply depots, intelligence facilities, and the submarine support facilities.Since your the pearl harbor expert, WHY did they put those old and obsolete war ships lined up in neat little rows?
They didn't. The US Navy's history in Hawaii goes back to the early 19th century; in 1887 they were granted an exclusive lease to establish the "coaling and repair station" that would officially become the Pearl Harbor Naval Base in 1911--and all of this happened long before it became a "resort area." There is absolutely no analogy to be drawn between this and Saddam Hussein's use of "human shields."Why did they build a military base in the middle of a resort area.
bitch please, you have a cotton picker in your sig file and you call me ignorant.
