same here. It would be like still having hard feelings over slavery which doesn't happen at all. There are more slaves today than any other time in human history. Not in the US obviously, but globally.

I am not american but I think you guys are pretty much equal. Actually you may owe them a little apology because at least they attacked a military base.. the US just drop two big bombs on the general public.
World War 2 was a long time ago.. if everyone went about holding grudges against people for stuff that happened long ago then the world will be absolutely filled with hate.

Pretty much... Killing civilians isn't like killing military. But hey, someone had to test the newly invented nukes, right? :D
If you look at the history of ww2, pearl harbor was not just a suprise attack. Japan was short of recourses after the U.S embargo of oil (which was done because the U.S didn't approve of japanese expansion in mainland asia), and had two options. It could withdraw from manchuria and pursue trade with america, but at the expense of self reliance, or It could make war with the America and its allies and become the undisputed master of the pacific. Natuarlly, the second option sounded better to the government that was in power. Afterall, At that time Japan had the best navy in the world, and their victories in china made them overconfident.

Are you angered by pearl harbor? i mean do you still have hard feelings towards the japanese even though it was 70 years ago?

Dropping two atomic bombs was much worse than Pearl Harbor. Are you implying that Pearl Harbour was the only thing the Japanese did prior to the bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima?
Nope, I love Japan. WW2 was a terrible thing, but without it I doubt Germany and Japan would have been so Westernized as they have been. However my Grandfather would disagree, he still harbors bad feelings for Japan.

Nope, not at all. I love Japanese culture and would love to visit Japan sometime. Besides, why would I hate a whole nationality of people when the vast majority of them did absolutely nothing?

i agree unfortunatley that doesn't happen with every country.....coughs Israel Palestine coughs

What we did to them was x100000 times worst. So if anything you should be asking the Japanese why they don't hate us. I think you ought to read up on things like the Rape on Nanking, or the actions of the Japanese government toward Koreans before you fault us for beating them.

No both cities were important militarily.;) Yeah, but that doesnt excuse the fact that the US dropped two bombs on to two cities.

That ended the war quicker and with less loss of life.....plus they were warned before hand. And as I stated they were military cities...not mere civilian cities. Remember it was not the US that struck first....
Using nukes prevented countless of deaths, including civilians, that would have happened during an invasion. Besides, the Japanese committed ridiculous atrocities before the nukes. Rape of Nanking anyone?

I don't think the Atomic Bombs caused nearly as much suffering as the Rape of Nanking.
And it was the bombs or an invasion of mainland Japan, which would have resulted in even more civilian deaths since they were all ordered to fight us with broom sticks if necessary.

I don't think I was specific... so obviously I was talking about more than just Atomic Bombs.

Then educate me: what are you refering to? After the bombs, we peacefully occupied and rebuilt their country into the beginings of a global economic power. Why should they hate us?

Yes, of course, you'd give America all the credit for the rebuilding of the Japanese Empire... I love jingoism. And I was talking about the collective destruction of Japan... we killed many innocent citizens with many types of bombs.. all they did was a attack base at pearl harbor. You can't really compare the two. Anyways, the reason the Japanese don't hate us is because they saw that their leader lead them into that mess to begin with. But there is still no excuse for killing citizens. And we also locked up many Japanese Americans for no reason other than fear. I have nothing more to say if you think attacking a military base is equivalant to slaughtering hundreds and thousands of non military personal.

All they did? An act of aggression is the start of the war. They are guilty of putting their citizens in danger. We would have had no reason to retaliate if they had not attacked. Interesting how you find an aggressive move to be blameless though....
