Dear Gents. I can see some points of agreement in what you write, on this subject. War, as the man said, is pure hell. It is the uglist atribute of human history. And it comes from good,lod selfishness. Still.....i have to say....i'm glad we won. If the Imperial Japaneese or Nazi Germany had won....this web site would not exist. Nor most of the ancestors of those who write today. No one starts wars expecting to lose. Those who feel they have too much to lose, don't useualy risk losing what they have. When men get greedy and envious, they let thier darkest self loose, and history is the resault. Well, most history. Still.....there is bad, and there is worse. Japan and Germany would never have Marshall planned us had they won. There are degrees of evil, and while the winners write the history books....sometimes they write them honestly. Unit 731 and Auschwitz are remembered, to ensure such horrors are not repeated. The winners , for the most part, became aware of their own capasity for evil, by looking into the mirror marked World War Two, and said "Beware" Man is flawed....and when he forgets that, his arrogance will find an outlet. Only a sense of humanity can lead you to say,"Enough. lets end this now." Sorry if i'm kind of vague, but its hard to deal with such issues. They are so big! Was it evil to bomb the two cities? Yes. Was it inevitable? Yes. Was it better then they lost, and we won? Yes. Lesser of two evils? Yes. But, now we have Allies who once were enemies. It could have been worse....and thats the only real comfort we can have when it come to war. The fact that some nations know when to quit. Sorry bout the pontification....i do go on a bit, don't i?
