Yeah except that Hiroshima was all civilian.
The US killed millions of Japanese civilians. War crime?
Of course not. They were the citizens of the nation that started a war
So they all deserve to die?
My position is: If by sacrificing a few 'civilians' this strategy will shorten the war and save countless lives ~ then I believe this to be a legitimate and
moral alternate to letting the war drag on with further loss of life, both civilian and military.
So you are justifying targeting women and children with nukes.

Does the same logic apply to the nations that started the Iraq and Afghanistan wars?
How about you say a few words about how it was that during the Bosnian War Christian fighter pilots were strafing and dropping bombs onto Christian militia on behalf of Muslim Bosnians? Not a problem?
How about you stop deflecting and answer the question. You said it is OK to nuke the civilians of aggressors. So are you happy to apply the same standard to the people that invaded Iraq and Afghanistan? Or are you a hypocrite?

Was Saddam Hussein running a 'just-and-fair' Police State regime before the US & Co engineered a Representative Democracy in that country in which 8 million of its citizens lined up voluntarily to vote in their very first democratic election?
Let's be honest Herbert, the justification that Bush and Howard gave us for going to war was WMDs - which turned out to be a lie.
The US-led invasion has only brought chaos and turmoil to the country because the US destroyed all the institutions that kept order in the country. The US made sure that the Iraqi army was completely disbanded and prevented anyone connected o the Baathist Party (which was most people) from entering politics. This all guaranteed the rise to power of extremist Iranian-backed Shi-ite groups.

Here is a list of countries that the US has attacked since 1890. You can ask them.

You've obviously been coached and tutored to believe that everything the Americans do is a plot against Muslims.
No. I believe that they are equal-opportunity destroyers.

I see people like you as being far more loyal to the politics of Islam than you being loyal to Australia continuing as a secular Western democracy
You and Murdoch are traitors who put the interests of other countries before Australia's. I want what is best for Australia. You do not.

You people (not all) are very definitely sleeper-moles for the advancement of Islam in Australia. Ultimately you would like to see Islam predominate as the premier dominant political force in this country.
I think you just need to exchange me for Abbott, and Islam for Catholicism, and you would hit the nail on the head

A great many of you should be in internment camps for exactly the same reason as the Italians and Germans were interned during the war.
Locking up people based on religion. See you and Hitler have so much in common.

When the chips are down, and some megalomaniac chooses to invade Australia ~ you'll be down at the American Embassy in Canberra with all the rest of us, begging the ambassador to tell the US administration to send troops to save our arse.
Anyone who thinks that the US will help Australia out is deluded. The US is motivated primarily by self-interest.
