It just occurred to me that there are probably people who look at those bombings - after the war was effectively over BTW - not as evil (my view), nor as a regrettable but necessary way to avert American deaths, but as an actual heroic act.
Jesus, how do I live in a world where there are people like that running around having normal lives...?
If you were in the other thread about these bombings yesterday, you'd see that viewpoint is basically what the US teaches in school. It's disturbing to see that so many people actually believe this was for the good of humanity.
