Did USA bring democracy to Hiroshima & Nagasaki in 1945 & to Iraq & Lebanon by killings of millions?

Answer 1

“God is not on the side of any nation, yet we know he is on the side of justice. Our finest moments have come when we have faithfully served the cause of justice for our own citizen, and for the people of other land”. George W. Bush.

It is easy to read words without knowing how corrupt language can be. Most people “know” that God is on the side of justice. However, in America “justice” is defined according to American standard. The media act as a megaphone for those in power to propagate America’s “justice” and America’s “divine mission” or the “messianic mission”, as it is called in mainstream media, to bring “democracy” to the Middle East and the world.

The American war on Vietnam that killed more than 3 million Vietnamese people was portrayed in America as a “just war” to “defend” the world from the threat of communism. The opposite was true. Many years later America’s elites acknowledged that the war on Vietnam “was a mistake”. It was one big atrocity. The U.S. army was forced to leave Vietnam. America’s imperialism in Vietnam has suffered a stunning defeat at the hand of peasant and defenceless people. The result of the war was: Vietnam is a country left shattered and its people suffering from America’s immoral war.

For more than a decade the U.S. is engaged in an illegal war against Iraq. In 1991, the U.S. orchestrated the first U.S. war on Iraq, followed by more than twelve years of genocidal sanctions and bombing, which decimated the Iraqi society, and took the lives of more than two million Iraqis.

According to UNICEF, the sanctions against Iraq resulted in the death of 500,000 Iraqi children under the age of 5 years old. In May 1996, “60 Minutes” correspondent Lesley Stahl asked Madeline Albright, US Ambassador to the UN: “We have heard that half a million children have died [as a result of sanctions]. I mean, that is more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it”? Albright responded: “I think that is a very hard choice, but the price, we think, the price is worth it”. UNICEF estimated that the under-5 infant mortality in Iraq in 2001 was 109,000, which has a population of 24 million, compared with about 1000 in Australia, which has a population of 20 million. Iraqi death toll is not being reported and publicly discussed, fearing it will amount to genocidal war crimes against those responsible for the wars.

My advice to Americans is to take a hard look in the mirror, and ask yourselves why your country is committing horrendous terrorist acts on the soils of other countries. The destruction of Iraq and the horror brought forth by American war on the Iraqi people, and America’s other countless atrocities rob America of all moral authority and idealism.

Answer 2

Okay this is an absolutely silly question. You are obviously uninformed, or haven't studied history very well. The United States has never engaged in a war with Lebanon. The Iraq situation is still unresolved, but yes these people will be better off in the end than they were under the Hussein regime. As for Japan, democracy and economic prosperity are readily evident in this country. If you want to attack American foreign policy, try looking for some actual failures, or at least use 3 countries where we have fought wars.

spiderman: Pearl Harbor was the catalyst for the war, not the justification for use of atomic weapons. It is an unfortunate fact that weapons are used in wars. If the Japanese had developed the bomb they would have used it against us. You can doubt this if you want, but any country that will send their pilots on suicide missions will use any means at their disposal. The contentions regarding Pearl Harbor are that we did not start the war with Japan, they attacked us. Further the Japanese were warned that we had the bomb and intended to use it. I have never really agreed with the use of atomic weapons, but my question for Japan is this. After seeing the devastation of the first bomb, why did they make it necessary to use a second?

yousif y: Indeed the war was over in Europe, but not in the South Pacific. I have no idea what your rant about Chernobyl is, but most people I know just see it as a terrible tragedy. No one I know compares it to any act of war.

Biomimetik: Your inability to place any historical context in your posts is amusing to say the least. I for one just love how you constantly confuse UN supported actions with purely American Foreign policy. The war against Iraq in 91 was endorsed by the UN, and involved an international coalition of forces. It was the result of illegal invasion by Saddam Hussein's army in the peaceful country of Kuwait. The sanctions were imposed by the UN, not the United States. This was in response to Hussein's refusal to allow proper weapons inspections by UN personnel. The sanctions were enforced by the UN, not the US. It is obvious that you don't have a clue what constitutes an illegal war. Try stating facts for a change and maybe you can be taken seriously, but since I don't think you would know the truth if it walked up and bit you, I don't see that happening.

Answer 3

Ironically yes. You imply that killing people is always a bad thing. But in WW 2 there was a big problem with genocidal madmen hell bent on taking over the world and turning it into hell on earth. The reason they were able to do what they did was the civilian populations were 100% behind their evil. Hiroshima and Nagasaki made it perfectly crystal clear to the average japanese person that the world was perfectly capable and willing of killing every single last one of them unless they cut that crap out. It broke their will to be evil and woke them up. It crushed their spirit and the only way possible to regain it was for them to change. So, they changed. Today, Japan is a place of enlightenment and goodness and where once it was one of the darkest and most heinously evil places on the planet.

However, it is not about that. It's about winning and surviving against people who have lost their God damn minds. The Japanes gave us a very clear choice.....us or them. We chose them, of course, like any clear thinking, rational, moral people do. Iraq and Lebanon are also giving us that limited choice....us or them. It is EVIL in the extreme for liberal scumbags to suggest that we should accept our deaths in this conflict.

Sane cultures respond to that by shrugging and putting a bullet in your head. Insane cultures.....well, they are all dead....killed off by evil people left to run amok by cowards and madmen.

Answer 4

The causes for bombing Hiroshima and Nagasaki during WWII are too well-known to need a repetition here. So no question of democracy was involved at that time. As far as Lebanon is concerned it was their own action of kidnapping Israeli soldiers that brought them in to conflict. They virtually invited trouble for themselves (unless they did it to relieve pressure on Hamas.) Yes, they wanted people of Iraq to taste fruits of what freedom and democracy meant. Good intentions but very badly executed. They have also paid heavily with lots of losses of life as well as material resources.

Answer 5

LOL, the international lost its innocence THEN? You mean it hadn't already? Like, oh, say, even as tens of millions of people were brutally murdered? Gimme a destroy. adult men, crappy stuff occurs interior the international, and regrettably, now and again the staggering answer is to do yet another both crappy element. The be conscious "justify" has a connotation to it that exhibits it truly is incorrect. Japan became incorrect for what it did. each and every action has a result. It sucks that people died, yet Japan had it coming. "At first light on Sunday, December 7, 1941, naval aviation forces of the Empire of Japan attacked america Pacific Fleet middle at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii and different protection rigidity objectives. The purpose of this attack became to sufficiently cripple the U. S. Fleet so as that Japan might want to then attack and capture the Phillipines and Indo-China and so shelter get admission to to the uncooked elements mandatory to maintain its position as a international protection rigidity and fiscal ability. this may enable Japan to extra enlarge the empire to contain Australia, New Zealand, and India (the perfect limitations planned for the so-talked about as "more beneficial East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere"). the triumphing perception interior the jap protection rigidity and political institution became that ultimately, with the then predicted German defeat of significant Britain and Soviet Russia, america' non-involvement interior the european conflict, and Japan's administration of the Pacific, that the international ability structure might want to stabilize into 3 major spheres of impression." Sounds particularly justified to me. Thank goodness Japan did not take over Australia, mate!

Answer 6

In Japan yes. Was it worth it? No. Did we save millions of American lives as a result? yes. Unless Japan surrendered unconditionally they would have returned as a threat thus millions of Americans would have eventually died. This justified the dropping of the bomb. This not simply about political ideologies and right and left...It is about survival. Survival of our freedoms and our economy. Without a stable economy it can get quite difficult to feed your own people so spare the boredom of listening to the left wingers cry war for oil or see it's all about money. If we stay the course eventually the Middle East will be a place where Muslims can pray in peace and those Muslims who believe that America and Israel must die choose their fate and will be delivered to Allah as they have chosen.

Answer 7

The reasons for attacking your examples varied. The A and H bombs were in response to attacking U.S. interests. Iraq for deposing a dictator before he could attack U.S. interests. I don't recall the U.S. ever attacking Lebanon. But no matter what, Japan doesn't seem to want for anything except some real estate, so can you honestly say that Japan is worse off?

Answer 8

The US brought democracy to Japan, yes, not only to Hiroshima & Nagasaki
The US failed to bring democracy to a lot of places, Iraq included.
Lebanon is a sort of democracy.
millions were killed by Saddam, nobody could as yet compare to his capacity for killing in the middle east.
Lebanon could become a state with a government as a result of the last conflict with Israel.

Answer 9

LOL Yeah! well except for the Lebanon part. But then we haven't been there yet. Oh ask all the guys on the USS Arizona if we should have fought the Japanese. Oh wait you can't! They're all dead. Setting at the bottom of pearl harbor!

Answer 10

what a rubbish is that ? .... what is that pearl harbour comparing with killing , intentionally , of hundred thousands of innocents ?
pearl harbour ..pearl harbour ....... and when u.s. bombed hiroshima , to be informed , war was over all around the world ...germany and italy were defeated .... there was no such a threat that justify all that. and what's funny that u.s. keep yelling , since 1986 : Chernopel !!!! leakage ( non - intended ) of a nuclear reactor against premeditated killing of ...100s of 1000s .... chernopel to cover democracy of Hiroshima !!!!
