plz, Hiroshima and Nagasaki comapre it with Sadaams 143 killings, let your consience speak and judge?

Answer 1

No comparison...the Japanese killed more Innocent civilians than Saddam did...but if you do your history research we hung all of their leaders too..the bomb saved lives....why you cryin?

Edit: No comparison by Saddam killed million and the Japanese killed more millions...Saddam deserved to swing...dropping the bomb on Japan was the right thing to do, they deserved it...ask a old person what they think about it...

Answer 2

What about the Iraq war with Iran, how many died? How many innocent people died in Kuwait? How many millions of his own people did he kill? If Saddam had gotten nuclear weapons he would have used them. People are so ignorant of the warning signs. When Iran gets the bomb, we have a 99% or more chance that they will use them. Hiroshima and Nagasaki will be nothing in comparison.
In order to end the war and save American lives, the bombs were a necessary evil.
I know liberals hate America because it shows in their actions and is loud and clear in their words. Remember Japan started the war with us. GB removed a threat. Is the world safer with Saddam out of the way? You bet it is. Lastly Saddam was tried by Iraqis and hanged by them.

Answer 3

We didn't just decide to bomb Nagasaki and Hiroshima one day. It was the end result of their attacks on us at Pearl Harbor and the Phillippines. Consider Japanese attrocities such as the Bataan Death March and Corrigidor and many others. The Rape of Nanking and other horrors in Asia. Do you think that the Japanese wouldn't have used it against us if they had it. Consider the 20,000 anti-personal balloon bombs they launched against us.
Saddam Hussein also used poison gas on Iran beside the Kurds. He is responsible for the death of many more people. Consider his conquest of Kuwait. Consider the setting fire to 500 oil wells in Kuwait. Consider the deliberate dumping of oil into the Persian Gulf to punish Saudi Arabia. What an enviromental disaster! He had many of his own people hung. He could have been found guilty for many other atrocities. He should have been hung many times.

Answer 4

Hiroshima and Nagasaki were legitimate military targets. They were both integral to the Emperor's war machine. Even Japanese leaders agree that both American and Japanese lives were saved by the bombing instead of an invasion. Yeah, it sucks, but it was the right call.

Answer 5

The attacks with atomic bombs convinced the Japanese to surrender without further loss of life.

Estimated casualties if they had not surrendered was 500,000 Americans and over 10,000,000 Japanese.

Trivia note: The last time the US military bought supplies of the 'Purple Heart' medal was in anticipation of an invasion of Japan. Since then we have using this stockpile and estimate that we still have enough remaining for a major war.

Answer 6

Hey, StonecoldS, you forgot the other 1 million + folks Saddam is personally responsible for killing during his 30 year reign of terror.

He was only convicted and hanged for those specific 143 -- there are MANY, MANY more on his tab, which was also paid for by his hanging.

Satan is having a wonderful time with that scum.

Answer 7

I recommend getting facts straight before posting stuff like that on here.
And to the people who say Iraq was for oil, I suggest a class in economics and common sense. Oil prices have been rising, Iraq would have lowered them if America went there for oil. Supply and Demand.

Answer 8

That's a completely retarded comparison. Not to mention the 143 is just the tip of the ice burg. Come to me when the U.S. nukes Atlanta or New York, or L.A.

Answer 9

Sadaam???? Hitler???? Is there a difference, I don't think so.



Nagasaki and Hiroshima brought an end to a WORLD WAR. Small price to pay.

Answer 10

Why is it that only the heads of smaller nations in our international system are subjected to trials to stand accountable for their actions while in office? Iraq’s former leader Saddam Hussein has been executed for crimes against humanity. Will Saddam Hussein’s hanging help bring stability to Iraq? No.
He may have caused terrible suffering to some of his own people, but has the coalition caused less suffering?
America, under President George W. Bush invaded Iraq because it said Iraq posed a threat to the U.S. and had WMDs. The real threat was to America’s oil supply and pride.
Before the U.S. invaded Iraq, there wasn’t the same lawlessness and lack of security as now. Will coalition leaders be executed for crimes? No.
The hanging punishes one crime with another crime. International tribunals, such as the Nuremberg trials, have been established to deal with crimes against peace and crimes against humanity. Saddam Hussein was tried under a national court, solely under Iraqi control but supported by the American leadership.
The American-led coalition wanted Hussein gone fast, so he could not speak of the special deals he had with Western leaders who used him and his nation against Iran and other American interests. Now, we may never know the truths.
