Whether you think it was right, wrong, justified, unjustified or whatever, why do people need to be such assholes as to not be able to even hold their tongues long enough for an event like that to be given some thoughtful graceful silence or contemplation?
Did Japan "deserve" it? War criminals? Guess what, all the murderers who engage in war are war criminals and if you don't think that people that intentionally did incendiary fire bombing of Tokyo so they would create an environment of hell -enough to burn 100,000 people in one night, if you don't think THEY would be war criminals if they had lost the war, you don't know shit.
I just hope that this theory of "deserving it" somehow justifying it after the fact proves NOT to be true for America too. Because if it does, I could point you to a hell of a lot of victims of US aggression in the past couple of decades who perhaps would argue that you all "deserve it" too.
If the city of Sacramento went up in flames, yes, there would be people saying it was deserved.
So be careful who you point your fingers at and throw that word around at. It could be you.
