If you were President at the time....
Would you have firebombed Tokyo and the other cities in Japan?
Would you have set up a naval blockade of Japan to prevent FOOD and fuel from getting to Japan knowing that you would starve the entire population?
Would you have dropped two atomic bombs on Japan?
I would have fully supported EACH of these actions? Why? America was at WAR with Japan and to end that war and save American lives Japan HAD to be forced to surrender.. The suffering and death of SOME Japanese (who after all were the enemy) ultimately saved many more Japanese lives.. The cost in American lives to invade the home islands of Japan would have been terrible.. in War it is better that the enemy die than your own troops.. These actions minimized the loss of American lives.. and ended a war..
Now why all the talk about Israel being told to cease fire and end the war in Gaza? Is the tyranny, barbarity and hatred of Hamas not the exact same thing that Japan was imposing upon America, all of east Asia etc.??? Do you recall reading during the war of America shipping in food and fuel into Japan? Do you recall university protests against the war in Japan? Who told America to cease fire?
