The Japanese are such forgiving people, even after being attacked with atomic weapons by the USA, they still welcome hundreds of thousands of US military to live amongst them without a problem at all.

I have met a lot of people, with a lot of different stories to tell. I met and dated a woman whose father, a Korean laborer, survived the A bomb at Hiroshima, apparently without major injury. I never got around to asking how her father achieved the feat of not being killed or injured in the blast, and I have always been curious. He made it safely back to Korea.

As a 23yr old German woman I recently watched a video of the bombings of all over Japan. The devastation was horrendus, The US command had a panel of men to decide which cities to use the nuclear bombs on and there was a list of about 10. Tokyo was on the list but when shown arial pictures of what was supposed to be the city, there was nothing there, it was completely gone. They decided on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and we all know what happened there after, the Japanese surrender. Wars do not start for no reason, there is always an under lying grievance, and I include the the war in Europe at the same time. There were a lot of grievances between the US and Japan before the war started, and some will say it was because of US provocations, and the same goes for Europe, between different nations here. I am at the moment studying US history and it is not pleasant, and let no one be under the illusion that the US is a democracy, it is not and never has been.

Didn't Germany have a list of cities from which a panel of men would decide to bomb?
