What would the second bomb have changed if that was true? Did their background say that surrender was only an option after the second nuke? Did their "mindset" say that "You fought till you died for your country" unless they drop TWO nukes? Why not three? Do you know how many military casualties would an army of women and children armed with "sticks/spears" cause in a modern army? Ten? Twenty? How many tanks can "sticks/spears" damage? Are you REALLY so naif? Or is it only when we talk about your country's crimes? _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
