Paul Tibbet

This pilot, Paul Tibbet (a Christian?), who bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 finally died on Thursday 1, 2007. Now he is being question by angel why he killed more than 500,000 innocent Japanese. He is facing tough time answering his wrong-doings ie. why become world no.1 killer of human. The killers in Afganistan and Iraq will follow suit.

Please spend some time reading the historical record before rebuking Paul Tibbet's service. I might mention that the half million figure that you mention is exaggerated. You may want to research the Japense defense of Tarawa and Okinawa in which not only soldiers buut old men and wmen fought to the death or killed themselves by the thousands. As tragic as the atomic bombs were, the bombing saved countless American and Japanese lives. Department of War planners estimated that as many as one million American troops woulds die before Japan surrendered. Finally, you may want to put the bombing of these two cities into a historical context. The West was facing a threat to its existence never seen before. On a personal level, my uncle and aunt spent the war in a Japanese concentration camp and perhaps a dozen or so relatives on my wife's side were killed in Nazi concentration camps, Germany of course being an ally of Japan.
