Please tell me exactly whereby I have painted you as evil monsters?
I have not in a word passed any judgement on the events that I mentioned.
I did not bring up this issue. I was merely responding to a statement to the list made
by Tom R..
He said:
"We may have done many things we can not be proud of, but we have never attacked
purely cilivian
targets without warning."
I don't think that this statement is accurate. That's why I responded, just like I
think that anyone of a different opinion is entitled to.
That's all.
Btw. If anyone feel like reading an eyewitness report on what it was like when the
bomb hit Hiroshima, please see:
