After reading this NYT article on the Nagasaki bombing, U.S. was truly pathetic

Germany stays trying to find ways to get that Holocaust stench off them. Germans are very sensitive of how they're perceived about it, and their modern attitude has an undercurrent of "Enough now!" not "We're still really sorry!". In fact, if you were to propose an annual apology to Israel for the holocaust, I guarantee you Germany would raise a bigger stink than Japan is. Modern Italy does little to no atonement for their actions under Mussolini's regime, but they didn't commit any atrocities on the scale of the holocaust, Imperial Japan's occupations or the atomic bomb.

The subject is Japan, and I believe there is a legitimate discourse taking place in Japan over how to integrate their past with their present and future, but the issue I have is when outside sources (US) start pontificating on the process and levying judgments when their hands are just as dirty. If I was Japanese, I wouldn't even consider US input until they come to terms with what they did to Japan. Americans are always trying to play moral police when their closet is chock full of skeletons.

I don't bear their burden...and no one here is excusing the USA's behavior.

You can't have it both ways.

Tell Japan to win the next one. :ufdup:

*Checks the thread title* :francis:
The reason we're talking about Japan is because America is thoroughly incapable of accepting responsibility for her heinous history and constantly seek to divert attention on some "But what about Nanking?!". This thread was about America dropping the bomb and now we're talking about Japan not bowing deep enough on their annual apology for the war. :stopitslime:

America is a comprehensively immoral country built on the unreconciled acts of genocidal dispossession of Native American land and centuries of slave labour. Until America and her apologists are willing to accept responsibility without automatically diverting to others, she has no seat at the table of moral consideration and is in no position to cast aspersions on others who are far further along in their process.
Deal with it. :umad:

Sometimes I feel like Japanese men and their supposed "lack of desire to have sex" might be inked to this. Maybe I'm wrong:lupe:

There is outrage for that. It was the firebombings that McNamara was talking about when he said they were acting as war criminals. And no one's apologizing for the Japanese's behaviour, just that it didn't justify the war crimes that were committed on them. The RAF and USAF justly get flak for the bombing of Dresden even though it was against the biggest war criminals in WW2.
