They could invaded Japan, and that would had avoided so many civilians casualties.

Ok, they attacked pearl harbor, but what they shoulded do is go there and attack them, dropping a wepon of mass destruction is a coward way to attack. It would had been the same if after 9/11 they would had dropped one in afghanistan

I would have to concede that this is the only time in world history that the US specifically targeted civilians with a weapon of mass destruction, making it a despicable act of terrorism.

terrorism was never "created", it is just an act. its like saying that someone invented Sky diving, sure maybe the first person who did sky dive invented the sport, but anyone could just free fall from a plane. sky diving was always there way before the first person invented the sport of it, so in this Case, terrorism was always there.
And if you say America made the first terrorist act, then you wrong, there have been thousands, recorded in history or not, way before Christ.

PS: Japan made a terrorist act before the U.S. in WW2, its called the attack on pearl harbor, the Japanese went to the cities and killed many civilians with there planes, America just counter-attacked with the bombings. I hope you see this a different way. Oh and if the Americans didn't do the bombings, than America would've been bombed a few days later in-stead, because i was reading a book on WW2 and i read that japan was almost at the verge of making the ultimate weapon of mass destruction, but the bombings destroyed the documents and all the test products. If the U.S. delayed the bombings for a week or so, America would've be severely damaged. It is said that the only documents left, are the ones with a Japanese scientist who moved to the U.S. where he later died of sick-ness. I don't know where the documents are now, maybe they were destroyed, forgotten,lost or hidden. Who knows.

The two bombs dropped in Japan, we dropped during a declared war. It was an act of self defense and a response to the terrorist act perpetuated against the United States by the Japanees at Pearl Harbor. Read some history, and you will find that the attack on Pearl Harbor was a deliberate attempt to draw the United States into a conflict with Japan. The United States was busy at the time in Europe, dealing with Nazi Germany, and we had no intention or desire to enter into a conflict in the east. By the way, I think the Japaneese pioneered the suicide bomber, aka, kamakazie pilots. Is it possible that AlQuieda just used a mixture of Japaneese suicidal tendacies and air planes to inflict terrorism upon Americans?
Terrorism as we know it has actually been used in North America many times. During the revolution, all sides used terrorist acts to weaken the enemy, back then they called them raids.
Mankind has been inflicting terror upon each other since the dawn of time. It is nothing new, and will never stop.
That being said, we can stop the Islamic Extremist, and the loosers known as AlQuieda, but actual terrorism will never be stopped.
There are gangs in the streets of every city in this country that can be defined as terrorist. Home invasions could be considered a terrorist act, robbing a liquer store could be considered a terrorist act. Something as minor as throwing a firecracker into someones house, could be considered a terrorist act.
So, don't try to lable Americans as being the creators of terrorism, that is an immature and inflammatory remark.
Why not say that the Native American Indians created terrorism, after all, it was they who attacked and killed innocent women and children and took their scalps as prizes. The white man just came here to escape the religious and economic persecutions they suffered at the hands of their brothers in Europe?
Don't get me wrong, i don't hold anything against the Native Americans, I just used that as an example to demonstrate to you that making arbitrary comments like the one you made in your question is hurtful, and nobody gains anything by blaming someone else.
Oh, and I have never seen any kids over there born with three eyes and three arms. It may have happened, but I have never heard of it.
Are the drug companies here and in Europe terrorist organizations, because I do recall some really deformed children being born here because of Thalidomide.

Oh Yah, the blame game again. Why do all negative people blame America ? When there is a problem go and blame America. What is new, under the sun ??? Go read the History books on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Why don't you go to the beginning ,instead of the end of that tradgedy ? You know there was a reason the bombing took place. Did you forget about the Japanese war ? Go read up on that. It was WAR. That is what happens when another country, thinks they can take over the whole world. It is always the innocent people who suffer from the cruel , mistakes of their country.

Try reading the history books. A land invasion contested every inch by the entire Japanese population would have resulted in horrendous casualties on both sides.

Second, show some pics of kids with 3 arms etc, the result is there are none.

The use of the atomic bombs, awful weapons that they are, forced the goverment of Japan to give up, saving far more lives in the long run that an conventional invasion would have cost them.

Nice try tho, to blame the US for everything, we didn't start the war, we just finished it.

Terrorism (as you define it) was around long before the Americans bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

See the Rape of Nanking, the Mongol invasions, the Punic Wars, or the Book of Exodus for earlier examples.

If you think that a mainland invasion of Japan would have saved civilian casualties as opposed to the atomic bomb then you have no clue about war. There would have been millions of deaths on both sides if their had been an invasion.

If you are siting wikipedia as a source, you really have should not be allowed to do research.

The Americans have done more than just that .When they came here to the USA they beheaded the Indians and laid there bodies out to be seen by all people.
In Iraq the Americans were the first to take hostages.They went into homes of the men they were looking for and took the women hostage to make the men turn themselves in.
Here in the United State Americans have blown up building killing Children and woman and men.
This is just a few thing done by Americans.So if we are to call people terrorist by race.Then i would have to say all countries are terrorist.
The sad part about it is now the Government is using 911 to frighten the American people so they can spend you money and take away your rights And people are falling for it.

Actually, it was the Japanese Kamikaze pilots who inspired the thinkers of 9/11. Our nuclear retatliation was in response to suicide pilots attacking Pearl Harbor. The Japanese proved they did not value life with their suicide attacks, therefore we played accordingly. At least we hit on the coast where 3/4 of the blast occurred in the ocean as opposed to dropping them in the center of populated land.

Terrorism was created way before Americans, but we need to use some at the borders right now.
