I can't believe that such an important subject stayed with three posts.

Friends, 6. August is the annyversarry of one of the most terrible merders in the world history. Extremely cruelly, usa bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki when the Japan has just resigned from war. Everyone thinks that usa hit Japan because of Per Hiber, but in fact before per hiber usa hit a submarin of Japan in Pasific. And, this was the first clue that how USA would be the most cruel force ever on the earth. Friends, to be humanist, and peaceful, your nation is not so important. I'm a turkish, and definitely if my country had done such a merder I would blame ourselves. by the way, if you want to word Alligation of armenian jenicide, that is absolutely a big lie, Armenian government tries to prevent Turkey's joining to EU. They don't have even a document about it, and Turkey recently opened the archives to historiers to prove that this is a lie.
so, I hope you don't blame Turkish people with such a merder, or even this thing happened, because of it happened on the anatolian teratories, this is already an unreasonable reason to believe that the merder was done by Turkishes.
so, I hope many people joins our blame to this Hiroshima and nagasaki bombings.

Well we blame them for what's happening in Cyprus and the EU should kick them out of there right away. Now back to these bombs. Of course they were necessary! The russians had justjoined the war in the east. There was the fear that if it lasted too long they would make significant gains in Japan. That's why the bombs were used as well as to save more American lives. Yes it was extreme, Yes it was also very cruel, but for the reasons I've just given it was necessary. Of course another good thing is that Roosevelt died in 1945, otherwise the Americans may have been even more disadvantaged against the communists from Russia. The Japanese were fighting until they had no troops left in every battle, very unwilling to surrender believing death was a better option. /This ment the Americans lost a lot of lives. It's no wonder they wanted to get the war over with.

hey ww, if you will be so sider of war, I will pray that a "necessary" bomb fals near you, but can 't kill you, because to die makes everything be over, but to stay injuired is much worse than everything. and, again you talk without knowing anything, Japan. Had. Just. Resigned. that. war.

and about cyprus, as a turkish I can know the facts about it most, in cyprus in 1960 a terror started, and romes started to kill turks one by one to realize the idea of making cypruss belong romes, and threatening to make Istanbul convert costantinapolis.

and, if you are so fascist about wars and so cruel, I don't need to say anything to you. look, I blame Japans for Per Hiber, and I blame usa for Hiroshima. and, a secret information, usa will try to find a reason to occupy Turkey, and if this happens, then I will sware too badly to you. can you understand me? I hope you do and if you still defend wars and killers, I won't answer you anymore. because, you are tirsty of blood.

and, I blame and sware who bombed that peace memorial park and caused hundred thousands of people to die. there can't be a reason to defend a cruel attack, you say yourself, "yes it was cruel" then you can't say that it was necessary, necessary things can't be cruel. and I don't know your age or what, but I'm sixteen, and very respectable politicians are my relation, and they know more than you. I learn all of these from the source, not invented informations.

Cheesbridge I agree and many wonder thought it is largely a conspiracy theory, if america unleashed the bomb to demonstrate their superior firepower in the cold war...whatever the reason it was an abomination but equally the barbaric treatment of prisoners working on the Burma railway,was a war crime...that said I just cannot condone the annihilation of innocent civilians...

Obviously the bampot does not live with the destruction zone.I do,just about, so the radiation would probably reach us within hours.Also, the idea that members of Al Qaeda have had access to a nuclear base is terrifying...still it is entirely possible for 1 to wander unhindered around this base for hours..comforting thought eh?
