Why Hasn’t the World Been Destroyed in a Nuclear War Yet?

Hey "rational gentleman", do you realize that most of the victims of these US state sponsored terrorist attacks on Japan were poor civilians not even military personnel?

Do you think that it's acceptable or "rational" as you put it to have people fried alive in furnaces or dissolved in acid?

Would you like to face a similar "rational" fate for you or your loved ones?

Hadn't been for the US and its allies emerged as victors in WWII, all of their political and military leadership would have been had their own Nuremberg trials a decades ago but they got it away with it for the simple fact that they prevailed over their enemies.

Like they say 'History is written by the victors'.

I'm from a country defeated in the war, Romania, so I should be somewhat objective as "I" didn't "write" any history. Japanese atrocities are well documented, so it's not like the US was the only one doing awful things.

I, for one, am glad that the Allies won the war. The lesser of two evils.
