We did some pretty nasty things to the british and loyalists here in the states.

No matter how civil we try to act, we are still just violent apes with big brains.  Accept and embrace it I say.

Define total war.
 
As a counter point the independence of the USA was won without turning England into rubble


Well, but the objective of that war was much different than WWII.   

In WWII, the objective was to overthrow the fascist states of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan.   These two governments had to be overthrown in order to make the world safe

In the Revolutionary war, all Americans wanted was their independence.   Nothing more.

I must agree that Japanese women have truly mutated in very strange ways.

What have we done to their gene pool???

The first Gulf war comes to mind. The war of 1812 (maybe not a great example), Spanish American war, Falklands War.

Laser, I know what you are saying though.

The Falklands was won and the Brits didn't start lobbing nukes on Argentina. You know what I mean? :)

You are comparing Apples and Oranges here, though.  Much different types of wars.

Surely you must agree that the military dictatorship of Japan had to be overthrown?   Looks at what an utterly democratic and peaceful nation Japan has now become since the war.

Sig, I was replying to Laser...

I am all for what we did to help put an end to the war with Japan.

I don't see history being rewritten. The article was factual. Is it wrong to point out that the bombings were horrible or that many died?

You can try to make others believe that the US was evil in nuking the japs.... but the truth is, none of it would have happened if the japs did not start a war with the US. I feel no pity for the japs of that period.
