Re: 72 Years Ago Today

What do you mean by "debate"?

Enough people don't know the facts, these days. Would they have preferred the Japanese to fight to the death (State Shinto promoted a jihad-like fanaticism), thus really creating a bloodbath? Little Boy and Fat Man saved countless lives and made Hirohito realize that he wasn't a god.

Don't know how many people understand what the current prime minister Abe Shinzo is about, though. He's a member of a group that wants to re-establish State Shinto, thus sending things back to the way they were before 1945. Should Naruhito become emperor, they'll set him up as god-king too.
