Hardly. I think you are bordering on psychotic. As I said, we hanged people at Nuremberg for doing what you propose, and on a much smaller scale.

Since Japan declared war on us we can bomb them into oblivion but since Russia only declared war on smaller defenselss neihbors we can do nothing about it?

We did "nothing"? Huh. Here I was, thinking that the Cold War was more than "nothing." And here I was, thinking that there was some space between "nothing" and "dropping A-bombs every place we think Stalin might be."*
*Which others might call "the slaughter of untold millions of people on an unprecedented scale," but I guess that's just fine and dandy with you because, after all, if it brings democracy then the interests of the many outweigh all those millions of dead people and the fried cities and the radiation and....
you really are insane.

Your problem is that you just don't want to recognize the evil of Stalin and the Soviet Union. What if the tables were reversed, Stalin had attaked the US and we joined up with Hitler to defeat Stalin.

Fuck you, Spanky.
Your problem is you are a fucking zealot, who is incapable of listening to anyone who does not wear the "Neo-con" badge. You are advocating the slaughter of millions through massive atomic bombing -- and then, when you say that would be justified because it would magically result in democracy (in a country that had never known it), you have the nerve to attack others for supposedly believing in "the good of the many outweighs the harm to a few (or the slaughter of millions, a la Spanky)"
Are you listening to yourself?

At the end of the war if we had the bomb and Hitler did not, would it have been OK to demand that Hitler step down? [/quot
But wait, he was our alley and never declared war on us. It is OK that he exterminated a large portion of the population of Europe (just like Stalin) but he never attacked us, and of course bombing Germany to get him to step down would be a war crime, better to let him remain in power.

I'm sorry, but the notion of an alliance with Hitler is too far-fetched for me to believe.
But, given you view that we should have dropped a-bombs indiscrimately across Eastern Europe, I can see how it's something you would view as a possibility.
