re: Do you feel bad about the US dropping the atomic bombs on Japan?

Go back to 1945 & ask any American if he'd give up 10000's of American soldiers' lives for those of any Japanese civilians & you'd be looked at like you were nuts. The liberals here are criticizing the US govt at that time while safe, secure and totally isolated from what the world, America specifically, was like then. 70 years later it is easy to be an armchair quarterback as to what is right or wrong. Bottom line, the lives of my 3 uncles & probably millions of other US military soldiers are infinitely more important to me, yes. While ignoring the hatred of the Japanese back then, consider how South Koreans still feel about them today. Consider how virulently many Japanese leaders today hate the US & how they look at even the convicted Japanese war criminals as heroes.
