On the other hand however. The casualties total in the immediate aftermath of the two bombings would not have amounted to much more than those amassed from a few further weeks of the B52 bombs that were setting Japanese cities alight at a huge rate. These cities were all seen as legitimate targets in some form or other because of their production of weapons. At least that is how it is legitimised. Or try and figure out a way of successfully defending against the kamikazi tactics which were in full use at the time. Picture a barely trained 18 year old pilot who is essentially guiding a missile to its target. At this stage the Americans enjoyed completely unmolested air superiority and treated all merchant ships carrying goods to Japan as enemy targets. If you want to look at war crimes against a civilian population look at the B52 bombings ordered for months and months before the Japanese subdued. However if you want to look at the other side look at the massacres perpetrated by the Japanese on US POW's or Filipino citizens or during their occupation of China where they had deployed a huge amount of their troops even as all the major cities of Japan burned. The endgame in the Pacific was bloody and brutal and consisted of many battles where precious little tactical gains were made for many many losses on both sides. However to suggest that the US committed war crimes any more than the Japanese is simply untrue. Would suggest Nemesis as a decent account detailing all aspects of the end game. It makes Stalingrad look like Ann and Barry though.

A girl should always know when a guy is interested. If she doesn't, then he's doing it wrong.

I don't think depression rates are anywhere close to obesity rates. Also, plenty of depressed people are slim, so I'm not buying that obesity is due to mental illness. As with everything, there will be exceptions.

LeighH wrote: » I have a popular opinion that often doesn't go down too well. Obese people have only themselves to blame. It's a simple equation, if energy in > energy out, you gain weight. People who are overweight are eating too much, exercising too little, or both. Everything you eat has the calories written on the packaging, and while nutrition is a complicated subject, that is enough information to stop you from being obese. For this reason I tend to be very unsympathetic toward the obese.
