You're cute when you complain about mass graves in Iraq but don't see anything troubling about annihilating two cities which, I don't care what anyone says, contained non-combatants. Some innocent lives worth more than others?
And for the record, I said dropping the bomb was the right strategic choice and I would have probably done the same. That doesn't mean it had no moral implications or was justified by the attack on Peal Harbor (the "bushwacking," no?). It was necessary to avoid American casualties -- go over to Japan and peddle the line that we were doing their civilians a favor too.
