Wow, you have absolutely no life do you? Why are you so worked up about something that happened over 60 years ago? I find it very interesting that you're getting pissed off about the fact that Roosevelt did something about Japan's actions in China. I guess that you're FOR the atrocities committed there?

"from what i remember about Pearl Harbor.... NOT ALL OF THE PEOPLE THAT DIED were soldiers---get your facts straight!" OK, here's a "straight fact." The Japanese targeted MILITARY targets (Air Bases, Ships, Army Barracks, etc.) Seeing as how most of those were in and around civilian areas I don't doubt there was spillover. That is NOT the case with Hiroshima/Nagasaki. The bombs were meant to wipe out EVERYTHING and EVERYONE. Civilians were TARGETED. This was NOT spillover.

The Japanese' "vicious" attack was a product of Roosevelt's usurping the Constitution and the rule of law, not to mention his illegal meddling in Asia, aiding and ebetting an enemy nation of Japan during wartime, and concocting political scenarios meant to goad the Japanese into firing the first shot, which is what happened. So, blame Roosevelt for this. He's as responsible for the attack.

First, that is BULLSHIT. The Japs did NOT "toss 1,000 babies in the air onto their bayonets." There is NO HISTORICAL DATA about that. The same false claim was passed around by British Intelligence about the Germans in WWI. However, EVEN IF that were true it has NOTHING to do with targeting civilians who had NOTHING TO DO with such an atrocity. Had the Japs done that then the commander would have been charged with a War Crime, just like so many Japs and Jerries were!
