This is what I am surprised to learn.
Why is it some people today still feel it was unjust for the US to drop the first atomic bomb on Japan? They feel it was cruel and barbaric. This is especially so if they are Japanese. These people even feel the US SHOULD apologise!
However, why didn't these people think of the events that led to these bombings? Pearl Habour, Nanking, Hong Kong, Singapore, Darwin or Brisbane? Weren't these MORE cruel?
If the Japanese had refrained bombing Pearl Harbour, wouldn't the outcome had been very different? The US would not even enter the war!
Wasn't the late Paul Tibbets correct? He refused to apologised and he had no regrets.
