[StBernard] New HBO documentary of the atomic bomb drops on Japan

[Westley Annis]

Yes, MAH (not to be confused with Pre 1900 Western Colloquialism <G>.

I believe the Japanese Emperor would surely have given the nod to drop da
Big One on American Empirialists, in California. But, then didn’t they seem
to enjoy the advantage of their sneak attack on the Hawaiian Islands and
beyond?

However, America in 1941 seemed to be comparable to the innocence of 2001's
Big Apple/Washington bombings. We were unprepared and naïve that such a
thing could happen to us. It appears our consciences were more juvenile in
comparisons to how we grew the hour after the bombings. 

We've had numerous times that we could have used it since, including
Vietnam, Gulf War, etc. but chose to be hesitant to its outcome and
consequences. It begs a question: "How many times and nations must we
destroy in the process before they "get it" that we are powerful enough to
destroy the world? Is that our mission? 

Wars won't cease anytime soon as historically proven since Cain and Abel or
the Jews and Muslims.

Why be a part in history that's known for stuffing out humanity? At some
point, perhaps, we may be forced to use it--unfortunately. Then, the
fireworks begin and Armageddon commences.

consider that if the Japanese had had the bomb, don't you think they would
have used it and far more freely that the US did.
