The war with Germany was already over when we dropped the bombs on Japan. Furthermore, there were only two bombs in our arsenal at that time.
You are correct in this. Maybe I should have stated had we had the bombs sooner. I believe that had the war dragged on we would have used these bombs against Nazi Germany. I just wished we could have developed these bombs about 5 years earlier and maybe saved a few million jews from the Holocaust.
Actually what he refused to do was cover his heart during the National Anthem.
According to United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Section 171
171 READS:Conduct during playing
During rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed, all present except those in uniform should stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. Men not in uniform should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. Persons in uniform should render the military salute at the first note of the anthem and retain this position until the last note. When the flag is not displayed, those present should face toward the music and act in the same manner they would if the flag were displayed there.
Brother, neither you nor I was there, and, as I have already pointed out, it's easy to make judgements 60 years after the fact. I can see how someone could include our bombing of these cities as part of their believing that the USA got what it deserved on 9/11. You don't, and I doubt we will be able to convince each other otherwise.
Rico, I had a history major in college, and while I didnt finish my degree in history, i did take all of the classes needed.
I can speak with pretty clear understanding on the historic context.

How do we know that America's destruction of so many innocents in Japan wasn't a factor in God's wrath visited upon us on 9/11?
Slavery
Dehumanization
Oppression
Abortion
Sodomy
Greed
War Mongering
Bro....I'm not convinced that God wasn't upset when we dropped the bomb backed the shadows of innocent children into the concrete pavement of their school yards.
how do we know that the things we have suffered personally were not the wrath go God.
I could go down this road with you personally CH. I could tell you that the issues you have had that have led you to want Government supplied healthcare was Gods wrath visited on your family for some precieved slight to God.
It would be both insulting and out of line. JWs comments sans context are equally vile.

Do you think the attack on America was "God's wrath"????????
If so, you believe in the doctrine of the terrorists........they are the ones who proclaimed that they were acting on behalf of God, or Allah, or whoever.....
Not a democrat alive defended Pat Robertson when he suggested 9/11 was Gods wrath for the immorality of America.
kind of funny how Chris is lining up behind JW on this point.
