Should the nuclear bombing of japan in WW2 be considered a war crime?

@Montanaman They primarily targeted fleet and bases.

@Neoerectus No different than 9/11

911 was a civilian oriented terror attack. Japanese hoped to remove physical ability to fight them and shock us into submission. They misread seriously American resolve and national pride.

Tell that to the women and children of Nanjing and countless other Chinese cities.

Japan attacked us because we refused to supply the oil they needed to continue their war efforts in China.

@Montanaman Completely different from 9/11.

@beckyromero @nudistsueaz @Montanaman @Neoerectus Note, if you will, in the YouTube video posted above, that the range of replies are quite similar to those on this topic here on SW.

@beckyromero The Japanese were masters of war crimes and torture - some of them even shocked Hitler == I heard. But I don't doubt it.

@Montanaman They started something and we had to end it by all means.

Hey what's this?! Oh, STILL not an argument for why it should not be considered a war crime.
lol are feeling embarrassed yet or are you a little too oblivious for that kind of humility?

@Pikachu Unprovoked attacked by the Japanese - so if you really want to look at it the Japanese were responsible for killing their own women and children.
