You never explained why though. This was a very unusual reply. What do you wish had happened?

I don't think I can agree to disagree with anyone on the subject of the A-Bomb attacks, the atrocities committed by the Japanese were done by the military. Not civilians.


what happened to Japan at the end of WW2 was a direct result of their own actions.


Killing innocents does not right the wrongs that the Japanese did. Imagine it, a small child waking up to go to school, looking forward to play games with his friends only to have his life snatched away by the actions of a country that wanted to test their new weapon.

I will say this again, there is no way to justify the massacre of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians.

Truman's decision to use the bomb was a Them or Us proposition. He preferred killing Japanese to further sacrificing our men in an assault on Japan proper.

I don't say this was right, but I understand, given the times, where he was coming from. We'd lost thousands already and war fatigue was dulling everyone's senses.

Truman wanted an end to the madness. The Bomb meant a definitive end to the problem.

If we're not the first intelligence in the galaxy,and they attempt to stop us progressing,then I'd go back and step on their first land-born fish.

To give life another chance to "produce" a truely intelligent species. I'm sure if nature was aware it would dislike homo sapiens.

The why drop two?

But I don't want to turn this into a fight, so I would also go back and change something from my personal life. I would make sure not to make friends with this guy that bugged the hell out of me for the best part of ten years.

I would go back ten years and leave a note beside my bed that said, "Above Top Secret".

So many years of not knowing!
