AmericanThinker: On April 11, John Kerry became the first Secretary of State to pay his respects to at Hiroshima’s memorial to those who died when the atomic bomb was dropped on that city on August 6, 1945.
That event, and the dropping of a second atomic bomb on the city of Nagasaki on August 9, brought a victorious and rapid end to World War II, and a Japanese surrender 6 days after Nagasaki, saving potentially millions of casualties on both sides if the U.S. had been forced to invade the Japanese home islands.
Kerry’s statement during the visit, as reported by CNBC, completely misrepresented the significance of the event, ignored the fact Japan brought tragedy on itself by attacking us at Pearl Harbor, and falsely blamed the instruments of war for the tragedy of war:
Did the Japs apologize for Pearl Harbor?
Were sorry we had to blow your Jap ass to kingdom come.
sorry we ended the war you started.
@Txn4Evr – that wuz the Germans!
Sorry we dropped two Nukes on ya to convince you your war is lost; would you have preferred the fire-bombing we halted to drop those 2 nukes? I think more of your people were dying from that anyway. Pearl Harbor? Rape of Nanking? Bataan death March? Did you apologize to the US/China/Phillipines for that?
Recently released information suggests that during the war, Japan exploded a test atom bomb in Korea and, if they had more time, they would have used the new weapon against the US. But that would okay, right Dementiacrats?
And while I’m eating breakfast in bitch mode- Pop Tarts just aint as good as they use to be.
I asked two WWII vets about that. They both said dropping the bombs was the right thing to do, it had to be done. It had to be done, and with no regrets.
These two people were in uniform fighting the war when the bombs dropped.
I guess the mono-neural network in the brains of these progressives cannot handle the binary concept of cause and effect. So they want to apologize for the effect when those who initiated the cause are the ones needing to apologize. Japan called for war and we answered.
Sorry we didn’t have more nukes to level more of your major cities.
Amazing that he hasn’t gone to the Native American Nations and offered apologies! If he was going to go back in history to apologize, he should have started there.
Native Americans were displaced, and enslaved, and killed by the American government. The American government suppressed and oppressed and replaced the Native Americans every chance they got. What a two-faced, pompous a.. .
Let’s cut to the chase here. Have Kerry apologize for the very existence of Caucasian people and every action committed by them since the dawn of time, whether regarded as good or bad, as well as any future acts they may commit.
Then we’re done. No more apologies.
My dad was a young Marine in the Pacific at the end of the war. He would have surly been in on the invasion of the Japanese mainland. I’m probably here because we used the atomic bombs. I approve of their use. Screw Japan! In 1941, my mothers’ next door neighbors lost their son, Jack Stevens, at Pearl Harbor. He went down in the USS Arizona. It literally drove his mother insane with grief. Screw Japan! They deserved the atomic bombs and more.
My Dad was en route to Japan (after 2 years in Europe (including England)) when the bombs were dropped and he was tickled shitless that the War was over and that the Axis had lost.
Fuck em.
Don’t start no shit, won’t be no shit.
