I blame Trueman, are any of his administration left alive to sue? Trading Japanese lives for American soldiers, causing all that suffering :rolleyes:
Sue, hell. Lets string 'em up for war crimes.

Even worse, he traded Japanese lives for Japanese lives. Had we not forced the Emperor to surrender and tried to take the island by force, the casualties on both sides would have been horrendous. But the weeping willies, bleeding herats, and gushing oilies of the world will never ever understand that.

You have to wonder about the sanity of people who claim that purposefully attacking defenseless women and children with nuclear weapons to save lives is ok just because it was technically legal, but are outraged that perhaps some fine details of the law might have been broken by water boarding a mass murderer to save lives.
Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

Which may explain why it's increasingly common with the barking moon-bats to assert that Truman was clearly/obviously a war-criminal and a moral monster.
