I mostly agree. Though to be fair, I think that you can't actually say the atrocities committed were the same since you forget to weigh in the fact that Japan was the AGGRESSOR. No, innocent civilians did not deserve to die. On the other hand, are you really saying that America trying to end a war they were forced into (Japan seems to forget that Pearl Harbor happened a lot) with a weapon whose full effects they probably didn't realize at the time can be blamed on a equal basis with Japan invading Asia trying to colonize it under the pretext that the rest of Asia was racially inferior and DESERVED to be experimented on, massacred, raped, etc? I feel intention is stronger in a "justice" debate than actual numbers.

No, you are completely right. Japan is definitely not blameless, and I'm not equaling the atrocities committed by either side. I do NOT believe that the Japanese were right in any way to start the war or to do anything they did due to their insane superiority complex, nor do I think that America or any of the Allied powers have done anything quite on the scale of the Japanese or the Germans. (Even now I feel uncomfortable because there is still a lot of racism there, but what can you do?) America was forced into the war, as much as any of the other countries were when they were attacked, and that was not right either. Pearl Harbor was also a tragedy.

However, BOTH SIDES have to take what they have done into account. While much of the "blame" may fall on the Axis Powers, the Allies are not entirely blameless either. What I take issue most with is that this person is clearly unsympathetic to the loss of human life that occurred during Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and going so far to say that they deserved it, or that "it was better" than anything else that they could possibly have done. Yes Japan's war crimes outweigh the American's, but that does not justify the crass attitude they have against the families that lost people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Not all Japanese are the ones who are raping and hurting people, and many of the victims of the A-bombs were civilians. Sure some of them supported the war, but I'm sure there were some that just wanted to live in peace, and these are the people that deserve sympathy and regret.

* Regret, that is, on the part of the Allies.

I realize I sound very pro-Japanese at the moment, but it is only in regards to such a comment as "I have no sympathy at all for them." I have no sympathy in regards to Yasukuni Shrine, I am not sympathetic for the persecution my family and my people have faced, nor the use of my home country as a POW camp, but I do feel sympathetic for the civilians and families that are continually affected by the horrors of the atomic bombs.

We cannot live in the past, we have to move on. I do not believe in persecuting the future generations for what was done in the past by other people. I cannot vouch for the Government, but uninvolved families were dragged into it as well on a massive scale, and I feel so so horrible that people would feel no sympathy at all for them, just because they were Japanese, and because their soldiers and their government have done awful things.
