Yes. That was sarcasm about Lemay. He was behind the firestorms in Tokyo. The fact that he opposed it speaks volumes. What annoys me is that nowadays, anyone who questions anything the Allies did in WWII is dismissed as a Lefty revisionist. Actually, the revisionists are the "War Is Hell" armchair tough guys who justify any atrocity because "we" did it. Traditional conservatives most likely opposed it.

Incinerating civilians (along with wars of conquest and torture) didn't become features of "American Exceptionalism" until the Trotskyite, chickenhawk neocons infiltrated the GOP a generation ago. The Democrats never had a problem with it.

1. I have no sympathy for anyone who warehouses their child in a school. We've had two generations of home schooling and we should know better than to turn our children over to strangers. Our parents didn't know better. We do. 2. Partly because of statist schools, the "conservative" opinions expressed on this thread are radically different than traditional conservative, patriotic thought. Use of the atom bombs was opposed, criticized, or at the very least questioned by such anti-American commies as General MacArthur, President Eisenhower, Admiral Halsey, the editors of the (50's era) National Review, and that well-know pacifist, General Curtis Lemay. Among many others.

Anyone else remember Ollie getting disgusted and coming out against the Iraq invasion about five years ago? Guess that Fox money is worth more than your dignity, eh Colonel?

Lots of people deserve to die. I don't have the right to make that decision. Neither does Jonah. Or anyone else.

No. I'm a real conservative. You evidently, are still a Bushbot.

You can't be serious.

Republicans would never try to cash in on tragedy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83XcGFIBmxY Face it. They're ALL hypocrites.
