I don't agree with dropping the Atom bombs on Japan.

The fact that the war would have lasted longer is not irrelevant at all, but it was based on speculation. The Japanese were not fanatized. Their leaders were. They were drunk on being one of the most powerful countries in the world after hundreds of years of self-imposed exile.

Though I don't agree with what happened at Pearl Harbor, all is fair in love and war, and there is nothing "wrong" with a sneak attack (though I don't believe in violence). And if you know your history at all, it wasn't a stab in the back. The United States ceased to supply Japan with food and munitions (why we were doing so in the first place I don't know) and so they retaliated. By the way, if surprise attacks are all bad and unfair, then what do u have to say about what George Washington did to the German mercenaries during the Revolutionary War. Ya know after he crossed the Deleware River and took them by surprise, drunk after Christmas partying.

And as for why those terrorists are pissed off:
1. They hate Jews for many reasons, the oldest one being the story of Israel and Ishmael. Go find your local Bible and read that story.
2. They hate Westerners (and Christians especially) for many reasons, the oldest being the Crusades. Yes I know that was a loooong time ago, but it was one of the worst acts of pointless slaughter in history. The Muslims were actually rather nice to Jews and Christians before the Crusades. They were free to live in the Islamic Empire....until the Crusades that is. Thats when things turned around.
3. The Gulf War. Americans apparently went into sacred Islamic land in Saudi Arabia during the Gulf War and so that's why a lot of Saudi Arabian terrorists are so pissed off.
4. Americans just basically has huge egos that need to be taken down a notch (Their logic not mine, well ok mine too but not with violence)

Just thought yall would like to know.
