    It's on other news networks as well, but hey Fox news is still a "legitimate" news resource, even if it shows its pro-right colors.

    How were the Soviets going to take on Japan, though? Without the nukes, Japan would've had a much stronger manpower pool, economy and industry, and with the Soviets just coming out of a massive war with Germany I doubt they would've been able to mount an invasion from the other side of their country.

    Thus my plan to place the topic back on topic has failed.

    The solution to this is simple: we need to invade North Korea.

    We didn't know the true power of that bomb, besides we were desperate to end the war. If you arguing that nukes are bad i agree
    but the world is not pretty unfortunately. An didn't we pay and help reconstruct those nuked areas as part of war reparations?

    Also http://news.yahoo.com/israelis-iran...nated-attacks-around-150647081--abc-news.html
    Either the Israelis are trowing out some secrets or some lies for war. Those diplomats are going to have a worse time in
    those negotiations.

    EDIT: sorry viking i didn't know you already posted similar news.

    To be honest Im kinda of skeptical it was Iran involved in the attacks in Thailand (Thought it was India to be honest) it was more then likely just some rouged organization trying to start something.

    The allegory of the cave, Plato's republic is best.

    Plato sucks and his allegories are stupid... Stupid forms, Socrates ultimate "f-u, I'm so much better then you that you're mind can't even comprehend what they're mean". Interesting if you consider that similar philosophical constructs arose all around Asia at a similar time.

    Nukes had already been tested about a month before Japan was nuked. If three days is deemed enough time to surrender, a month or several weeks surely is enough time to figure out that using nukes is inhumane. Just saying sorry and giving some money doesn't suddenly take away everything. Of course, Japan fully deserved reparations (even though they themselves had to pay quite a bit for what they did to the Chinese).

    And don't say the world isn't pretty. If you really think that, I urge you to visit Iceland or (South-East) Asia.

    Err, what? I mean maybe natural beauty, but he wasn't using 'pretty' in that context.

    The Chinese weren't even invited to the Treaty of San Francisco.
    No official reperations were paid to the Chinese people.

    Alot of Chinese on the mainland still hate the Japanese.

    Daww...I'd still advise you to go there, it's awesome. (Don't worry, I know what he meant, of course. I don't read every sentence as a different post).

    Seriously? I did not know that.
