[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 3262585, member: 24302"] Japan inflicted terrible loss of life on China and all through the eastern Pacific. As Route 66 said dropping the bomb was a necessary evil. And while you may be sympathetic to the Soviet Union the reason we installed dictators was to stop the spread of communism. The Russians and Chinese were determined to see the whole world communist. We fought fire with fire. And it wasn't just a matter of competing economic systems as the governments of communist countries believed it was their right to control the lives of their citizens. The angle you take suggests you are sympathetic to those ideas because you're always critical of the U.S.. It's a shame that most Eastern Europeans and citizens of the former Soviet Union see communism as a disastrously failed system but there are those on the far Left in this country that still toy with the idea, thinking they can get it right.
