"""The argument of the nature: "We did it then, so we should now" is rarely considered a strong one. Each case stands on its own merit, and in my mind it was arguably justifiable in 45, but not in 65. That's how *I" feel, so sue me."""
Weak arguement? Perhaps. How about a question - why did the US stray from using A-bombs ever again? I don't see an answer. Still. How about it's the most horrid invention in history and the implications weren't even concieved by the people who gave an OK to drop them? Merely an admission of that would satisfy many questions and raised brows.

""As I said in my post, civilized people can argue over these things and probably never completely agree on anything. That is normal.""
Civilized people dropped 2 A-bombs on "uncivilized" Japan. Why haven't they used any biological or chemical weapons in WWII? Geneva convention? Code of honor? European lives are worthier than Asian?

""However, fundamentally I don't see any difference beetween then A-bomb, high explosives, machine guns and flame throwers.""
Fundamentally? How is that not different fundamentally? I have some posters prepared here... the mushroom, etc.

Indeed, this is not an arguement at all, more like you condescendingly throwing one-liners at me, Victor. I don't think that's nice. If you can do better than that - please. If not- then, by all means say so.:))
