Back in High School my US History teacher actually believed his pathetic history book and could almost swear that President Truman decided to drop the atomic bombs on Japan because not doing it would cost the lives of thousands of Americans in an invasion.
This whole idea of killing in order to save sounds ridiculous, and many historians like Howard Zinn claim that the US orchestrated such massacre in order to have Japan surrender to them and not Russia who was about to declare war on Japan.
Its time to tell people the truth about the United State's past, we should not allow our children grow up in a fictitious world where the US is the lover of liberty and democracy, where all other nations are bad and want to hurt the US. Why shoul Pearl Harbor be covered in one chapter and Hiroshima and Nagasaki in one paragraph.
What, is it that a Japanese life is worth two fiths of an American life?
