The civilians were the victims in that holocaust. Pearl Harbor (done by trained military, not little grade school kids) was allowed to happen.

Seriously? Pearl Harbor?
Was not sure if you were joking...if you are saying it was an excessive response unfortunately it's war...edit on 2-3-2014 by chrismarco because: (no reason given)
Germany killed massive numbers of european civillians, Japan killed MASSIVE numbers of Chinese and other asian civilians, the number killed by the nukes are totally inconsequential compared to the number of dead from the total war. Why do you think it's OK to kill millions of people with bullets, bayonets, torture, medical experiments, forced starvation, etc but you kill a much smaller number, much quicker, with nukes (that again had no global emotional attachment to them) and you think it's the worse thing ever?

So... back to the OP... Because it's a requirement to put the trolls back in their basement rooms, I did not vote for Obama in either election nor the republican du jour. I haven't voted mainstream party in a long time. That said:
I keep reading comments about how Obama has no nads and hasn't 'done anything', Obama needs to 'do' something, the U.S. is just rolling over, etc. So what exactly do all you parental basement dwelling, armchair generals suggest we do? Should we bomb Russia? Send troops to the Ukraine? A naval confrontation? What exactly? Is there anything that you can conjure-up that would cause Putin to back down? Cause I, for one, would love to hear it. I can think of any number of things that would make a dangerous and bad situation exceedingly worse and cost the U.S. in every sense of the word but am at a loss to find an upside move. So, I'd love to hear yours. By the comments I've read you clearly must have a better plan.
