What I want people to understand about Hiroshima is that even if it were true the bomb ended the war (it's not) and even if it were true the bomb prevented a costly invasion of Japan (it didn't) it doesn't MATTER. It doesn't make dropping the bomb less of a crime against humanity

I will also note that in practical terms the important thing isn't really whether you lay wreaths at Yasukuni or not The practical outcome of WWII was that Japan had its war machine dismantled and was ruled by an occupation government for seven years

Japan was, in fact, punished, whether you think the punishment was adequate or not Its current constitution had anti-imperialism forcibly written into it By contrast the US has pretty much never been directly punished for its actions by any external source since the War of 1812

But it's easier to be appalled by what other countries have done by while refusing to on any level acknowledge what my country has done!
