Friday, August 22, 2003   Bitching about the Bomb To the Japs who bitch about the atomic bombing of two cities in their country, Wind Rider says: Yes, it is unfortunate that you got caught up on the butt end of the war that your country started in the first place. However, keep in mind that you are the 'survivors' group. Something that the millions of dead caused by the butchery initiated by your contemporary countrymen simply can't participate in. Ever. If the recounting of the events of that period really bothers you, go find some of the surviving Japanese leadership that was responsible for starting the damned thing and the first place, and bitch them out for doing so. Save your criticism of those that put an end to it, or the method they used, which saved many times more lives than it cost. You would do well to realize that you might very well not be a member of a 'survivors group' if the end of the war was fought by conventional means. Nor would a few million of your countrymen, most likely. You're welcome that we spared their lives, possibly yours, and so many of our own, in the process. You happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. Life sucks like that sometimes. And a sign on a damned hunk of historically significant frikkin aluminum halfway around the world from the site of your tragedy can't fix that, or change it.
