There was a big Dresden exibit here in Jackson,Mississippi a year or so
ago.Do a www.devilfinder.com for it,if you are interested.I also have
a few videos of it.I went to it and I took a bunch of pictures with my
Kodak camera and snail mailed some pictures to that married Irish woman
wayyyy over yonder across the big pond.There have been some other big
major exibits here in Jackson too,Spain and France to name a few.In
September of this year,Celtic Fest Mississippi will be in Jackson,it is
an annual event thingy,wild Horses can't keep me away.

Clearly you haven't heard of the firebombing of Tokyo, which was more

And so what. Both the firebombing and the nuclear explosions were
designed to get the Japanese to stop fighting a losing battle. One
that would have cost our side and theirs huge numbers of killed had a
land invasion taken place.


The point, which you seem to have missed, too, is that just because it
used a fission reaction doesn't make it the ultimate evil. Tokyo,
Dresden, Koln were all far more destructive. I'm not talking about
motives here, so spare me. The POINT is, the nukes were destructive
as in what a single bomb could do, but they sure as hell weren't when
compared mission-for-mission.


You are confusing issues here. In the firebombing of tokyo, london,
dresden or koln there were numerous devices used which resulted in
numerous highly destuctive fires. In the two separate nuclear bomb
attacks on japan one device was used in each attack with extreme
destruction the result.


I would have far rather been 5 miles away from Hiroshima than 5 miles
away from Dresden. I suspect even at that distance I could have been
sucked in by the firestorm.


Chances are you would have been killed or seriously maimed for life by
radiation at a 5 mile distance.

Popular Science magazine has a good article about defusing a nuclear

in this news group a few days ago.y'all did read it,didn't y'all? It is
on their online website,look around.I get their snail mail magazines and
Popular Mechanics snail mail magazines too,I have been subscribing to

No, I'm not. You are, or you are being deliberatly obtuse.

The point is, the firebombings KILLED MORE PEOPLE.

They were more DESTRUCTIVE.


End of story.

So, which was "more evil?" (which is a bull**** construct, but lets
leave that alone for now...)

Killing 75,000 people with a nuke?

Killing 300,000 people with incindiaries?

Killing 300,000 people with incindiaries, timing the individual waves
to catch fire and rescue people in the open and unprotected? (read up
on Dresden.)

So tell me what is an act of treason. It reads like the nonsense
ramblings of someone who sees conspiracies everywhere. But hat's about
it.


There is absolutely nothing wrong with dissidents in our country...I
fought for your right to speak out for your views and rights...anything
else would be an tolitarian in nature.

Now I am tired of all you cowards accusing the United States of all of
the worlds' wrongs. I work and live, and had fought in all of these
cess pools you cry afoul the USA for. Fact is the world is an evil and
inhumane place. Without the USA, we'd already have WWIII. As far as the
USA as being racial, pack your lazy butt up and try to come over here
to the Middle East, esp. Saudia Arabia. Freedom of religion...of
speech...of where you live....documents every 6 months is a
minimum...it's Isalm or nothing else...an responsibility for one's own
misfortune or the country's is unheard of and definitely unpracticed
over here.

The professional people schooled and had lived in the USA like and
understand us; but the remainder are so full of hate taught to them
from cradle to grave. To keep a people in line, you must find an
outside element. Western civilization is it....they do not like to
work, and children and women are possessions here...foreign workers
from the Third World are slaves with impossibly low wages that they can
hardly return home.

Poor little Japan and bad, bad USA and her nukes. Well you liberal
idiots...let me put you on those battlefields with the odds not in your
favor with every new battle of ever coming home....and considering the
Japanese posture on Okinawa, the BOMB saved lives on all sides. War
means never having to say you are sorry.

If we had treated the Arabs as they treat others, and gave Islam the
little freedom that we give their religion all over the world, IRaq and
the terrrorists would be finished by now. Instead of our soldiers dying
for your poor, ignorant views, why not sign up and put your life on the
line for America...earn your citizenship for a change. We need the
draft reistated then we'd get to see y'all in a truer light. Facing
death is the ultimate test of manhood next to parenting.

You, my firned, keep being a dissenter...maybe one day your fellow
citizens will get off their lazy behinds, research the clowns they put
in DC, and put America and her people as number one in the
congressional agendas. CEOs and the citizens lack of responsibilty are
tearing Aemrica apart. Unless you like working at Buger King or
MacDonald's, then be a real American and do something other than paying
taxes and opening your yap about things you ever seen, or experienced
first hand. And if CNN is your prime source of information on the
world, see who has a large financial interest and editorial contro
there...as per Jim Clancy, they read what they are told to...and an
Arab financier is not about to let CNN show you anyhting but a dynamic
corner of a terribly raped and frustrated culture at the hands of
despots and religious quacks.
