"The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him." Leo Tolstoy, 1897

I love you flex! It's nice to know there are a couple of other fellow terrorists in this forum, who agree that dropping those bombs was the right thing to do.

So I decide to stop in to the PoFo to see what's going on and THIS is what I come back to?!? Oh Patters, I worry about you sometimes. Could you explain your original post, in which you state that "nuclear energy has failed?" The plants are down, but the core housings are intact, radiation release has been minimal, and prior to this these plants had been in operation for what, 30-40 years? Do you think the situation would be much different if the quake/tsunami destroyed a hydroelectric plant or wind farm? Once a power plant is down, its down, and resources will have to be diverted to fixing it no matter what. How many resources would be needed to go out and totally replace a wind farm a couple miles off the coast? Oh, maybe you're right, they should use more oil power, because nothing bad could ever come from something as simple as drilling for oil offshore...
The other point I'd like to make is that your classification of the use of nuclear weapons as a terrorist act or an atrocity is way off. Someone else mentioned it earlier, but in WWII we were fighting a TOTAL war. The concept may seem strange since it has not been necessary since then, but in both Europe and Asia the allies targeted not only strict military installations, but any facility that supported the war effort, like ports, factories, munitions warehouses, etc that were often located within population centers. The result were bombing campaigns that targeted large areas of strategic importance. Nagasaki and Hiroshima were both areas supporting the Japanese war effort, and had they not been destroyed by atomic bombs, they would have been destroyed by conventional weapons, as large swaths of Tokyo were.
"The city of Nagasaki had been one of the largest sea ports in southern Japan and was of great wartime importance because of its wide-ranging industrial activity, including the production of ordnance, ships, military equipment, and other war materials."
"At the time of its bombing, Hiroshima was a city of some industrial and military significance. A number of military camps were located nearby, including the headquarters of the Fifth Division and Field Marshal Shunroku Hata's 2nd General Army Headquarters, which commanded the defense of all of southern Japan.[22] Hiroshima was a minor supply and logistics base for the Japanese military. The city was a communications center, a storage point, and an assembly area for troops."
By your logic, because our weapons systems of the time were not advanced enough to target only military installations, basically any allied bombing raid would be considered an "atrocity."
Sometimes I wonder if it is even worth replying to the diarrhea you post because your view on these things is so far out there.

Hey thanks for stopping by. I am so relieved, because everything I've been reading for the past week has been about the disastrous effect of the nuclear fallout. Those men in those big garments must be for show. If I'm hearing you right, It's no different then if the tsunami had hit a wind farm.....................ditto on the last sentence.
