When you start talking about Japan’s support for Germany and then apply those standards to the U.S.’s involvement “hardly a neutral observer” in wars around the world we (both of us) have opened up a much broader subject.

The U.S.’s response to Pearl Harbor (direct attack on the U.S. by Japan) was disproportionate and brutal.

We are not talking about “all genocides”;
don’t hide in a broader subject here.

I asked you specifically about the Holocaut. We are talking WWII here.

What did the Japanese have to do with the Holocaust?

Are you kidding ? Japan was a Germany ally and hardly a neutral observer.

All genocides are relevant to me.

The Clinton camp? Get real Kathleen: this is all Obama’s doing and Obama’s problem: Jeremiah Wright is his problem. This about Obama’s choice. His and only his.

Kathleen, Hiroshima and Nagasaki IS A COMPLEX issue. It is not as simple as you put it. And you are forgetting the Holocaust : 6 million Jewish people in addition to gypsies and many many others.

But maybe this is irrelevant for you?

HIroshima and Nagasaki were disproportionate responses to Pearl Harbor. The whole world witnessed how ruthless the U.S. can be.

God damn America for killing innocent people”. The timing of Reverend Wright’s words, the place he chose to let loose (in church) highly questionable.

Americans do not want to face or even consider that parts of Reverends Wrights words are spot on. U.S foreign policy, intervention and the support of repressive governments has directly effected and been responsible for millions of deaths, the overthrow of democratically elected governments (Iran). Most Americans do not want to face this or even consider this thought let alone accept any responsibility for our crimes.

Should Reverend Wright take it up a notch (more death and destruction does not resolve these issues).

Stat
Yes it was quite a time then that is for certain. I think we were a little less jaded. We didn’t have as much information flooding in on a minute-by-minute basis as we do now. We didn’t have vast numbers of ADHD as we do today speaking of which!
