Hiroshima was a military target that was chosen because of its industry, naval ports and military headquarters. Not because of its civilian population.
Pretty common knowledge.....
So the civilians weren't there? Imagine this was some afghani saying "the cafe was chosen because military personnel held meetings there." Would that be ok? Because it's the same ****ing thing on an exponentially smaller scale.

You expected us to go to war with Japan without creating any collateral damage?
:rofl:
Please go read up on a A LOT of history before you respond.

It's not "collateral" when it's the primary target. Feel free to read the below definition before you respond.
Collateral Damage
: injury inflicted on something other than an intended target

You're either a troll or only 12 years old.
Or possibly you have a dove shoved so far up your a$$ that you have lost connection with reality.

All true, and I often forget to account for the power of prayer. (Now that's condescending!)

I'm very sorry you've had some sort of bad experiences with over-zealous Christians or something of that nature. I won't change your mind, but I will pray for you.
Hopefully, you will open your mind to accept the fact that although you can find examples of violence in the name of religion, you will find a whole heck of a lot more good that is done by people (of all faiths) in the name of their religion. And most religious folks are genuinely good people.
God Bless.
As far as your issues with U.S. policies, you sound completely ashamed of and disgusted by our country and its actions. If I felt as you appear to, I would renounce my citizenship and find a better place to call home.

You can make a completely cogent agrument that blows up his angry and incoherent babble and he'll shift to more nonsense about how terrible the U.S. is or it's all Christians' fault.
Your point about him studying some more history is sure to fall on deaf ears, as facts about why the U.S. was brought into WWII, or why we were at odds with the USSR in the first place don't sync-up with his points.

Ah well...why debate with facts when you can say so much more with off the hip emotion hype......

yes, because anyone who has an arguement that doesn't agree with your world view is obviously an idiot, a troll, or out of touch.
every major religion and most major powers have done terrible things.
remember, iran was a democracy till the US/UK blew it up for english oil interests in the 1950s. the US put saddam, the taliban, and the shah into power. the allied powers sorta kicked the palestinians out of palestine in the 1940s, so all of this meddling in the ME/SWA has caused some long term problems for us there.
that doesn't mean that we're evil or that muslims are all super violent monsters. a lot of bad sh$% has happened over the years on both sides and the generalizations don't really help.
