[QUOTE="Dirtygirly, post: 165188, member: 17487"] General Norman Schwarzkopf the man who led our armed forces the last time we engaged in a war with a group of Muslims under President George Bush said, "When we fought in the Middle East we went to extreme measures even to the point of putting our own troops in danger to avoid harming civilians. The people who attacked the US on Tuesday directly attacked civilians, that is the difference between them and us." These words are not accurate but that was his idea. If you think that the A-bomb was an act of terrorism commited by the United States on Japan heres why I think that it was not...According to estimates made by the US military from taking over islands in the Pacific (which we all know horror stories) the death toll of US soldiers would have been significantly higher than if we were to end the war by conventional means than it was by dropping both atomic bombs...and that is not to say that not just american soldiers would have died but many Japanese soldiers as well. I have been to Japan and many still feel resentment against the United States...War isn't pretty, it never has been, but the decision to drop the bomb was done so to save life. The attack made upon us this Tuesday was unprovoked and was done with no intention of saving any lives. The terrorists involved our own civilians on the planes that crashed into the the trade center. The effect that this will have is inevitable, its going to lead to more death in the Middle East. I believe that retaliation by the US is justified. It may be ugly, disgusting or horrific but if it prevents similar incidents in the future, resulting in a net savings of lives, then the US has the right to strike against those who attack us. Thanks for listening [/QUOTE]
