If Bush had nuked places in Iraq when the war began, he would have been tried as a war criminal.

Stuart like every other pundit (on both sides of the political spectrum) is a complete fucking tool.

If WW2 was fought in the same social and political climate that we have today we would not have won... carpet bombing germany would have never been allowed. We destroyed entire german cities, leveled irreplaceable cathedrals, and there were many civilian casualties.

It's an interesting point. That's how we're different from "the terrorists."

Bombing a city is as much about crippling infrastructure as it is about demoralizing a people.

I'm just saying it's possible to draw parallels between... bombing a city in the name of America... and bombing a city in the name of Allah.
Look its a bird its a plane, no its just my broken aeg flying all over the place.

I can see how you might be able to argue that the atomic bombs were terrorist like acts but we'd have to know if truman understood how devastating the bombs would be with fallout etc to truly compare. Terrorism is more intent than act I'd say.

[quote="Rcas"]As far as WW2 vs GWOT: in WW2 the enemy wanted to take over the world and rule us and exterminate jews and blacks etc leaving the world for "arian" people. In the GWOT the enemy wants to destroy anyone who is not one of them. That would be like germany wanting to kill every non german or the Catholic Church wanting to kill all non Catholics.[/quote]

They dropped those bombs to end the war and save lives not to scare a nation into surrender. The letters were dropped to tell the civilians to leave so they wouldn't be killed which sounds nothing like terrorism which kills innocent people.
