Quit being so quick to lable people.
The US used the bomb in self defense.
The US does not condone using suicide bombers to kill innocent women and children and the US surely doe not condone "Wiping" any county off the face of the earth.
The US is not an entirely Christian nation. We are made up of many religions, including Islam. We are founded on Christian principals, but we welcome all religions, as long as they are not extreme to the point of taking innocent life.
Read some more history books and you will find that the US has been a fairly peaceful nation throught its history, unlike most of the middle eastern nations that have been slaughtering each other for thousands of years.
And just because we did use the bomb, does not mean that we did also realize the horror that it caused, and that we do not want to be forced into using it again. If Iran would look at the problems associated with nuclear weaponry, maybe they wouldn't be such idiots to keep moving forward with their plans. Idiots.

Using those two bombs ended a long and bloody world war, and saved millions of Japanese and American lives. Far, far more people would have died in a land invasion of Japan, than died in the blasts.
Also, the people of America have the most varied beliefs of any nation on earth- because it allows freedom of religion to a greater degree than any other. Not just Christians live there, but Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, Wiccans, Buddhists, Atheists and more. It's why so many people from all over the world come to America to work. It's a free nation under secular rule, not a religious rule.
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things.

Applels and oranges comparision.
And for the record there were more civilians killed in the firebombing of Tokyo than were killed at both Hiroshima and Kagasaki. And that was done with conventional weapons.
I'll make you a deal. You take away all the weapons from terrorists and I'll see that the US and everyone else gets rid of nuclear weapons. You get to do your part first.
OBTW look up words and find their definitions before you use them.

It must make you and the rest of your kind a bit nervous to know that the US has more than 15 nuclear subs each armed with 24 missiles and each missile having 6 nuclear warheads that can hit anywhere in the world with pinpoint accuracy. And that's only from the sea. But you can relax a bit. We don't need all that power to deal with third rate, backward, 13th century mindless fanatics who want to rule the world in the name of their god. Your leaders talk brave and send innocent and ignorant youths to blow themselves up while they hide behind women and in their places of worship. There isn't a real man among you. The Japanese wore uniforms and fought like men. You have no honor, no respect for human life, no respect for other religions. You deserve to get what you fear, but do not worry, it will not happen unless you use nuclear weapons first. Then we will put a final end to your whining.

In the summer of 2001, before 9/11, Newsweek ran an edition which was devoted to Bush's plan to dismantle the U.S. nuclear stockpile. I have yet to find it in the archives, but I do remember reading the whole issue. Now, we've gotten to the point that the White House has considered using Tactical Nukes on Iran's Nuclear production bunkers (and our military is opposed to using them). What does that tell you?

The two nuclear bombs used on Japan were during a declared war between two sovereign nations. The decision to use the first bomb was reached because of the heavy toll on American troops that would have occurred if they had tried to invade the Japanese mainland. Japan was given opportunities to surrender following the attack on Hiroshima but decided not to. Therefore the second bomb was used on Nagasaki. This does not make the US a terrorist nation as the bombs were used to protect the lives of Americans who were provoked into a war with Japan almost 4 years earlier. And please check your numbers of dead from the two bombs approximately 256,000 people killed.

#1 - Usa is not a christian nation but one built on christianlike principles (direct quote from Jefferson himself).
#2 - Bombing Japan saved many many american lives in what would have been more bloody conventional attack.
#3 - Terrorism is the unrealistic use of violence to gain a unfair deal that makes no other sense.
#4 use of the nukes in 1945 was totally correct and right thing to do.
USA must never be disarmed of nuke power, for that means that the theocracies will win, and we will be worshiping ALLAH in a few years or less.

The apprehension of the U.S.A. about prolifieration of nuclear weapons if countries like Iran is allowed to possess the nuclear technology is absurd. In fact it is very dangerous for humanity if the Americans continue to possess the nuclear weapons as is evident from its use by America in Japan. In fact, it was America which threatened to use small nuclear bombs in Afgahanistan against a poor and war torn country regardless of its consequences. It was U.S., which used Clustor Bombs in Afghanistan, Iraq and killed thousands of innocent people, including infants. It is U.S., which has supplied Clustor Bombs to Israel, to use the same to kill the innocent people, in Lebenon and Palastene, etc.,

That is like asking "Why do you get mad at a stranger who slaps you in the face or beats you up, and you have done nothing to them.?" I don't know why it is that some people believe that if the U.S. is attacked as they were at Pearl Harbor by Japan(which if you read your WWII history, was an unprovoked attack) or on 9/11, that they are supposed to just turn the other cheek, roll up into the fetal position, and do nothing. This also why everybody is mad at Israel right now and in the past. Not because they have accidently killed innocent people, but because when they were attacked, they went after the ones who attacked them and whooped that a**.

Only by definition of the terms.
And definitions dont' matter. It's what people use the words to express that matters, no matter how unrelated those words are to the underlying dictionary meaning.
