Where is Obama apologizing? What exactly do you find wrong with this? Partisan hack much?
We had no choice, it was either use the bombs or invade, an invasion would probably seen millions of dead Japanese soldiers and civilians. It took 2 bombs to convince the Emperor to surrender. And even then his Army tried to stage a coup to prevent it.

This President is an idiot.

Sorry dude but sending a representative to the anniversary or whatever exactly it is who isn't even scheduled to speak is not apologizing.

Appearance wise it is. As I explained in my follow on post. That site is simply a means a attack the US. Always has been.
What is wrong? The sites are used to bash the US. The sponsors at those cites make the claim that the bombs never needed to be dropped. That the US was racist for dropping them. They ignore the fact they started the war and then when they lost refused to surrender, that they planned mass human wave bamboo spear attacks with civilians on any invasion that took place. That the bombs actually saved millions of lives. That it was a WAR. And the bombs were dropped on MILITARY Targets.
This President is sending our Ambassador to a site who's sole purpose is to attack the US.
The memorial event will feature a minute of silence and the release of 1,000 white doves, AFP reported. The thousands of Japanese who survived the attack, but spent the rest of their lives suffering the affect-effects of injuries, illness and grief, will also be honored.
During a previous visit to the city, Ambassador Roos toured the Hiroshima Peace Museum and left a note in the guestbook that read: "A visit to Hiroshima is a powerful reminder of the destructiveness of nuclear weapons, and underscores the importance of working together to seek the peace and security of a world without them."

As a senior in high school, I had a Japanese exchange student , in 1997 I visited her and her family in Japan, the Japanese people are very much a shame culture and are VERY ashamed of the actions of their ancestors, they are in noway like the Muslims who blame their bad behavior on others, they don't bash the US for dropping the bomb.
just curious....has any official japanese entourage ever visited pearl harbor on dec. 7?
The U.S. delegation will not offer an apology for dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki when it attends a ceremony in Japan on Friday marking the 65th anniversary of the attacks, which brought World War II to an end.
State Department spokesman Noel Clay said no apology will be offered by the delegation, to be led by U.S. Ambassador John Roos, at the ceremony in Hiroshima.

I believe the Japanese emperor and his wife visited Pearl back in 2009.....I'm not in the mood to go searching but, if somebody else is, please do provide a link.
Japanese Navy ships have visited the site out of respect. And Many former pilots who participated in the attack have visited the site to pay their respects. Many have said they knew they awoke "a sleeping giant" even as they were dropping bombs and, were very critical of the emperors decision to attack.
They weren't there to apologize, they simply paid respect. And I fully believe that is what our visit will be about.
The trip, which is likely to include a visit to the USS Arizona Memorial, is considered highly symbolic. No Japanese political leader has ever visited the site of the December 7, 1941, attack - an event that President Franklin D. Roosevelt described as a day of infamy.
For the record, neither nuking Japan nor an invasion of Japan was necessary to end the war.
