But what the Japanese did you the Korean woman and Nanking?) make us look like pacifists. True, I am not implying anything regarding the morality of using those weapons. I would have done the same, if I was in that position. What the Japanese did to any area of occupied Asia was horrifying, regardless of their treatment of POW's. But good old Iosif Dzhugashvili killed at least 20 million of his own people and we left him alone. I still wonder what the world would have been like if we had let Patton have his way and continue his drive north east. Jeff G.
