You can't use the excuse that civilian casualties like this are inevitable in war. The fact of the matter is these soldiers hand cuffed civilians who were already unarmed INCLUDING children and executed them. I am pretty sure thats a war crime to execute children or anyone for that matter...

I believe they would. You are talking to the same people who's culture dictated at the time that you commit suicide rather than face dishonor. In fact many top ranking officials did just that when the emperor did approve the surrender and some actually attempted a coup to prevent it. I don't...

How did you get your parties to make a bill that would not be in their personal interests? That's like me as a boss of a company firing myself for misconduct. I don't see how it happened there. There is sure as hell now way our own politicians would shoot themselves in the foot for the moral...

That's hardly a fair comparison. The United States was at war with Japan. Japan was responsible for the war by attacking pearl harbor unprovoked. Being on the recieving end of a trade embargo does not justify sneak attacking a country whom you are at peace with. In Germany the nazis chose...

The Taliban do not represent the consensus of the country if anything they are a minority rebel insurgency and not freedom fighters. If the Taliban gained power they would be conquerors.

The emperor refused to surrender at all until the atomic bomb was dropped. He was considering it, but he didnt give out the order for surrender until the bombs were dropped. That's a fact. Can you really really say in restrospect that it was a feasible idea for the Americans to back off and let...

Hasn't it happened before though, in the case of a very unpopular president who is eligible for re-election?

If the democrats are going to nominate Obama for re-election instead of choosing another candidate the republicans will have a very large upperhand as of today. Obama achieved very little of what he wanted during his presidency including changing the message of his campaign promises. He...

I can agree with that. It's like socialism is a dirty word in America and the ignorant masses who don't know what it means instantly think free-loading and communism.

He didn't deserve it when they gave it to him and if anything he is more undeserving of it now than then. Personally I felt they gave him the nobel peace prize just for being the first african American president and being different than bush (at first glance). Thats very blunt, but do you...

After today I don't see the democrats as representing the middle class or disadvantaged American. They have proven themselves incapable of resisting the republican parties agenda and have passed the debt ceiling plan in the house that does very little to trim unnecessary fat from the budget...

I don't know about that but if it was a young women I am sure she wouldn't of been executed.

I would prefer we raise taxes for the wealthier Americans. Lower income Americans shouldn't have their taxes increased.

I'm not a conservative but I favor a default if it means democrats don't give in to republican demands of no tax hikes and cutting medicare and social security.

You have to consider the circumstances. Considering the circumstances between both cases the sentences make absolutely no sense at all. I guess that's one way to get the homeless off the street. Prosecute them for trying to survive instead of helping them!
