That is because he was taught that America is always wrong since he was first in school, and has never even attempted to overcome the conditioning.
What a moronic comment above. The mind that produces it cannot objectively, rationally, critically evaluate evidence. Absolutely stunning, just stunning.
Want to give us some evidence for your statement, QWB? And, please, your opinion is not evidence.
That's exactly right. I did business with them for years. They are humble and realize they were ruled by an idiocracy, just like you currently are.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.
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.

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.
U.S., allies to send first delegation to Hiroshima memorial - Yahoo! News
This President is an idiot.
Just put phrase through google, this came up:
U.S. Delegation will not offer apology at Hiroshima Ceremony - CafeMom
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.
Once again, RGS talking out of his ass.
For the record, neither nuking Japan nor an invasion of Japan was necessary to end the war.
Good point. We could have surrendered. That would have ended the war immediately.

Japan was willing to end hostilities before we dropped the bomb.
"I was against it on two counts. First, the Japanese were ready to surrender, and it wasn't necessary to hit them with that awful thing. Second, I hated to see our country be the first to use such a weapon." - Dwight D. Eisenhower
Is that what you call an excuse? The end justifies the means...? Pathetic!!!
1. If you were alive at the time, you were nothing more than a kid!!! Don't act like you were there!!!
2. We successfully drop a second bomb; this means that we had air supremacy; we could had drop a "warning bomb", just outside of Hiroshima for the emperor to see.
3. It was dropped on civilians, not on a REAL military target. You saw how we were angered at the idea of our civilians being killed. We only lost +3000 at 9/11, they lost 70,000.
I support any President Obama's willingness to admit that the decision as to where to drop the bomb was ill advised. However, as always with you conservatives, I still don't see in your link, a quote from President Obama supporting your claim. I don't see a quote from him offering an official apology. Figures start to lie when liars start to figure
President Obama is smart enough to understand the idea of apologizing for the way an action was carried out versus apologizing for why the action was carried out.
You could understand if you would care to listen; but before you can listen, you must dig the poop out of your ears; but before you you dig the poop out of your ears, you must first pull your head out of your a...
Food for thought.
It was very much dropped on a "real" military target. Hiroshima was an industrial city manufacturing military assests. The PEOPLE making them were the enemy, just as much as the soldiers using the weapons that they were making. There were several army headquarters there and it was a supply shipping hub. It was a HUGE military target.
Carry on with your re-writing history.
So if Japan or Germany had bombed Detroit that would have simply been a military target, right?
For the record, neither nuking Japan nor an invasion of Japan was necessary to end the war.
Quite true. I just believe that the alternative would have been worse, and we would probably still be in a state of war with them, just like we are with North Korea.
I find that unlikely since they were willing to surrender, which North Korea never did.
My wife is from Okinawa so obviously she's Japanese. Her grandmother and grandfather were at Hiroshima the day it was bombed.
Her grandfather was too small to join the Japanese Army (imagine that) so he worked as an engineer for the government. He actually had a hand in designing some of the suicide planes. As an aircraft nut, he and I had some interesting conversations, limited by my poor Japanese and his Okinawan dialect. My wife translated for us most of the time. He said the F6F Hellcat turned the tide in the Pacific as most war buffs would agree.
The week of the bombing he and his wife attended a meeting in Hiroshima. The day of the bombing he fell sick and stayed at the little apartment on the outskirts of the city. His wife saw the B-29 fly over and witnessed the mushroom cloud.
The next day he walked into the city and said "It was hell on hearth". But he also said this: "America had to do it. Japan was under Military rule and was never going to surrender". He never showed any animosity toward Americans and in fact, encouraged his grand daughters to marry Americans and move to America.
Whenever I hear people talk about how terrible America was for dropping the bomb I tell them this story. I have a few pictures of him I'll post later if I can find them.
Except they were going to surrender.
Except they were going to surrender.
No, they were not going to surrender.
Actually they were. They were reaching out to the Soviet Union after Germany surrendered because they didn't want the Soviets to turn their attention towards Japan.
I'd love to hear those who call the US racist for dropping the bombs on Japan, considering we planned using an atomic bomb on Germany if the Battle of the Bulge had failed.

I agree. Anyone who thinks that America is racist for bombing a country against whom we were at war, should be exposed to nuclear waste.

The Allies made it clear that they would only accept an unconditional surrender. That policy is what forced the issue and made the nuclear bombings, "necessary." Without the strict unconditional surrender policy the bombings wouldn't have been, "necessary."

Agreed.
Internments camps were the true display of America's racism during WWII.
