I seem to recall sharing this site a while back with you guys.

I think I commented back then that 9/11 made me re-evaluate the way i viewed the dropping of the Atomic bomb(s).

For a long time I studied history and was pretty content to take historians sterile matter-of-factly words that dropping the bomb was necessary and what-not. BUT.

9/11 happened. Innocents died horribly. 3000. People who undoubtedly didn't give a feck about Islam, geopolitics, or even U.S. foreign policy. Just people doing the mundane things people do as they live. They wearn't soldiers. They wearn't politicians. They were just people. Or rather, they were simply civilians.

Now, i can't stop thinking about how much of a crime it is to drag innocents. Women, children, old men and women and men who just were going about their daily lives, into your wars, real or imagined.


Hiroshima and Nagasaki were acts of war. 9/11 was a terrorist incident. Two different natures.
