A perfect example of how abject the U.S. has become.
Faster than you can say “Nakajima” the government of Japan torpedoed an idea floated by U.S. President Barack Obama’s administration in which the leader of the free world (or what’s left of it) would have publicly apologized for the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.
Never mind that those bombings saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of American soldiers (and likely hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers and civilians) – bringing to a successful conclusion the deadliest conflict in the history of human civilization. And never mind that Japan hasn’t apologized to America for its sneak attack on Pearl Harbor or the Bataan Death March.
Nonetheless, these realities don’t mesh with Obama’s politically-correct, revisionist view of world history – in which the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings fall into the category of atrocities that our nation should feel sorry for committing.
Oddly enough, it was Japan that shot down Obama’s proposed apology …
“The idea of President Obama visiting Hiroshima to apologize for the atomic bombing during World War II is a ‘nonstarter,’” a September 2009 cable from Japanese diplomat Mitoji Yabunaka reads.
Yabunka recommends that Obama’s visit “center mostly in Tokyo” instead.
The message is one of thousands of State Department cables published recently by WikiLeaks.
Obama bows to the Japanese Emperor
The State Department floated the idea of an Obama apology in advance of the president’s November 2009 trip to Japan. During that visit, Obama became the first-ever U.S. President to bow to the emperor of Japan – a gesture that has earned him justifiable derision.
Obama’s obsequent dip violated longstanding U.S. policy regarding presidents not bowing to their contemporaries – a.k.a. the “thou need not bow” policy.
Anyway, the decision to bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki was made by U.S. President who unlike the current occupant of the Oval Office has always been one of our favorite presidents.
Truman never regretted his decision – saying he didn’t lose “a minute of sleep” over it.
“You should do your weeping at Pearl Harbor,” he told his critics decades later.
Truman was absolutely correct. Had America been forced to launch “Operation Downfall” – the planned invasion of Japan – anywhere from 100,000 to 500,000 U.S. solders would have died. Meanwhile, Japanese casualties (military and civilian) would have likely numbered in the millions.
By contrast, the bombings killed an estimated 150,000 to 240,000 people.
News of the cable comes just days after Obama’s government “expressed its condolences” to the family of al-Qaeda propagandist/ recruiter Samir Khan – who was killed in a recent American airstrike that successfully took out terrorist leader Anwar al-Awlaki.

"And, as we Catholics know, Western Civilization is Roman Civilization, first classical Roman Civilization, then Roman Catholic Civilization, as the Christians preserved and carried classical Roman Civilization to the world in a Christianized form. That is, after all, why we are described as Roman Catholics."

He probably is, as a freemson and a cruel mass murderer, it´s difficult to imagine Truman anywhere but in hell.
The whole war against Japan was unnecessary, Japan was pretty much forced to go by the Yankees. The bombings against civilians using firebombs were also unnecessary, and the idea of making the Soviets to attack Korea, and many other criminal ideas of the Yankee government.
The atomic bombings were the most criminal and unnecessary of all. Japan was willing to surrender for a long time before, but not unconditionally. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed for two reasons: first, because the Yankees wanted an unconditional surrender so they could destroy the Japanese civilization and impose their stinking and decadent democratic system; second, because the freemason Truman wanted to kill as many Catholics as possible, so he chose the two cities with the biggest Catholics populations.
The atomic bombings were the act of a blood-thirsty killer, as Harry Truman was. Anyone who defends him deserves the maximum respulsion.
I´m not allowing any kind of public support to this murderer here. Refrain to post any material of this kind here in the future.
Aquí corresponde hablar de aquella horrible y nunca bastante execrada y detestable libertad de la prensa, [...] la cual tienen algunos el atrevimiento de pedir y promover con gran clamoreo. Nos horrorizamos, Venerables Hermanos, al considerar cuánta extravagancia de doctrinas, o mejor, cuán estupenda monstruosidad de errores se difunden y siembran en todas partes por medio de innumerable muchedumbre de libros, opúsculos y escritos pequeños en verdad por razón del tamaño, pero grandes por su enormísima maldad, de los cuales vemos no sin muchas lágrimas que sale la maldición y que inunda toda la faz de la tierra.
Encíclica Mirari Vos, Gregorio XVI
