Because we are not sorry for doing it.
we did when they agree d to not invade anyone anymore.
No, why should we apologize for ending a war that they started. Not only did they attack US Forces at Pearl Harbor but they also shelled the West Coast of the USA. (many people don t know this for some reason). And even though they started it all, we rebuilt their country, and you want us to apologize; I don t think so.
Think you asked the wrong guys! Shoulda asked Jesus what He thought about it. That s written in Revelations 17 and 18. quot;double unto her doublequot;. Heartbreaking! They re not gonna pick up their depleted uranium, nor their cluster bombs, nor outlaw land mines, nor a myriad of other horrors that war leaves us to try to deal with EITHER. In justifying this atrosity, they can justify any other present-day overkill as also quot;necessaryquot;. This overwhelming response certainly does prove 1 thing: It s the guys who win the wars who write the history books. Scarey!! They don t even talk nice, --Just like the quot;Mad Hatterquot; scuse me, but there is something called the Geneva Convention. Classifies children as quot;innocentsquot; even if their daddys work in bomb factorys. Ever heard of THAT? And it does NOT allow the bombing of civilian populations, sorry..no-can-do! But that s just IT, isn t it. If you make war, you don t play by the rules. quot;That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons that History has to teach.quot; --Aldous Huxley [More Quotes from Aldous Huxley] quot;What is history but a fable agreed upon?quot; --Napoleon Bonaparte [More Quotes from Napoleon Bonaparte] quot;History is the devil s scripture.quot; --Lord Byron [More Quotes from Lord Byron] quot;Qualities absolutely necessary for a historian: (1) Imagination.

we did about forty years ago. Although I think that you are wrong in your opinion that it was not needed. The Japanese would have fought to the last man. Lives were saved in the long run. Here s one for you, When did the Japanese apologize for the way they treated our POW s? Oh that s right, they haven t.
When WWII ended, I sailed on a troop ship from the Philippine Islands to Japan. As a combat veteran, I saw defensive holes dug into the sides of mountains and all kinds of armaments prepared for an invasion. This made me believe that if we had invaded Japan many of us would have been killed by fanatical Japanese determined to defend their homeland to the death. So should two warring countries apologize to each other? I don t think so. The defeat of Japan was the best thing that ever happened to them. We rebuilt their country and set them on the road to their current prosperity.
Japan started the war, we finished it. They should thank us, otherwise the war would have dragged on for two more years at least, draining all their resources and people.
quot;The indescrimanate killing of civilian men, women, children and babies was not necessary to defeat Japan!quot; So, Japan can commit serious acts of aggression on soldiers and civilians alike (Bataan Death March, Bombing of Pearl Harbor, etc), but when we hit their cities to essentially save lives, we are totally in the wrong? You sir/ma am, are a genius. quot;Japan was already being defeated and the war would be won soon. The real reason why they dropped the bomb was to show off to the Russians that the US had a new weapon!quot; Oh god, I don t even know what to ****ing say. Please, go grab a history book, find the chapter(s) on World War II, and just read it. Get the conspiracy theories out of your head, and get some facts in there. quot;Japan has apologised to China and other Asian nations for the killings and mistreatement of civilians during WW2. Shouldn t the USA apologise too?quot; No, no, no, no, no, and no. We dropped the bombs to save lives. We don t need to apologize for saving lives.
the truth is, they weren t close to defeat. remember, japan trained their soldiers to die in the the line of fire. that means even if we invaded japan, they would just keep killing themselves and taking as many american lives as they could, resulting in thousands more deaths than what the a-bomb commited.
Japan apologized for Nanking? when, I want to see a Link with text to that..... as to apologizing, Japan can go F@#$ itself, they started it, we finished it
No because In case you forgot, Japan attacked the U.S in 1941 and killed thousands of civilians and military personnel for no reason, and we also lost million of soldiers during WWII , a war that we weren t supposed to be involved. The U.S did not drop the bomb to show of, we dropped it because we wanted to end the war fast and at the time we didn t know the true power of a Bomb!!!!!
splack splack splack (dead horse being beat)
Take a look at the American death toll because of the Japanese, add in their treatment to American P.O.W.s then try to ask such a ridiculous question.
What SFC Ollie said! We weren t the aggressors in WWII. The US stayed out of it (despite appeals from Europe for years), and only started fighting AFTER we were attacked. What s different now? The media has brainwashed people into thinking war isn t war. In a war, you do what you have to to win, protect your people, and end the damn thing. Only a madman wants war. In the 80s when Japan looked like it was going to surpass us in being a world power, there was a lot of talk that we shouldn t have rebuilt them in the 40s and 50s. But we did because America IS THE GOOD GUY!!!!! If you don t really believe that, then you should live elsewhere and find out how good you have it. There may have been abuses by the US, which we try to root out and stop by the way, but this is truly a great land.
Japan had not been defeated. She refused an unconditional surrender. If we had attacked the mainland more Americans would have died. Better 10,000 enemy soldiers or civilians die than one American.
Because we are not sorry. It needed to be done and it was, just because it wasn t pretty doesn t mean it wasn t necessary or that we are apologetic.
Japan did apoligize for the aggressions of that nation in the 1930s and 1940s. However, many nations (especially South Korea) felt the apology, even coming many decades too late, were empty. As for your assertion that the war quot;would be won soonquot;, there is no evidence that Japan was willing to surrender before the use of the atomic bombs. People who quot;beat this dead horsequot; on this site are failing to understand what the American military and political leaders knew at the time. The two men who pushed for the use of the atomic bombs the most, Secretary of War Henry Stimson and Army Chief of Staff George Marshall, knew that an allied invasion of Japan would create far more deaths, American and Japanese, than the atomic bombs would. BTW. The bombings were not indiscriminate; both Hiroshima and Nagasaki had military facilities and industries.
Japan started a war. It would have cost many more lives to invade Japan. Japan has never apologized for the Baton death march. Why should we apologize?
Because Japan hasn t apologized for playing dirty. For example, calling medics for help then blowing them up, and taking prisoners and torturing them in the worst ways.
Hell no! Screw the Japs. They bombed Pearl Harbor for crying out loud! They had it coming. We told them they were going to use it, but they didn t surrender. The Japs had a chance to save their own people. Plus all those civilians that were killed were helping the war machine by building parts for the war, so they were not that innocent. All is fair in love and war. Dillion
How about Japan apologizing to all the allied servicemen and women they tortured including civilians of other nations? SCREW M!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...
Because they got what was coming to them!
As a person above mentioned, the USA had no reason to get into WW2! No I m wrong, they had a reason, they wanted to get into the war to boost the armaments industry and consequently all the other industries ! Remember, the USA was still reeling from the Great Depression of 1929. USA capitalism thrives on war, sorry to say. It was the same reason why they got into the Iraq War! And Vietnam and etc! But they needed an excuse, because people are not going to want to go to war to make the big guys richer. And I m going to shock you: THE USA GOVERNMENT KNEW THAT PEARL HARBOUR WAS GOING TO BE ATTACKED! They had been deciphering the Japanese codes and were aware that an attack was imminent, but they did nothing to warn their troops! Why? Because that provided the perfect excuse for the USA to get in the War.
Lets see. Pearl Harbor. Battan death march. Killing inocent Filiapinos. Inocent Chineese Asains all over Asaia. huh. maybe thats why.
you are inaccurate. the two bombings were horrible because of the visual and psychological impact they had and the nuclear age that followed. the amount of people that died in them was less than other military operations that were more common at that point and thus more acceptable. the bombings shortened the war and saved many american lives because japanese troops were fiercely dug in and would not surrender positions which were impossible to take without huge cost of lives. the bombings were a good thing in that regard. had you been fighting in the Pacific theater you would have a different appreciation for that decision. it is easy to sit on the fence now and criticize afterwards, hindsight is 20/20. imagine being in the war, hoping you dont die, or get captured and sent to bataan where japanese soldiers are playing games chopping your head off and laughing.
hey... how about you google unit 731 for japan and read all the nasty cruel stuff they ve done...
I suggest you find a copy of war in the pacific and read it. Find a WWII veteran that served in the pacific theater and talk to him. My Dad and all my uncles was in WW II and all served overseas. How many hundred thousand of lives would have been lost if we had invaded Japan? Every Veteran I have talked to said President Truman was the best President we have ever had. If Japan had won the war I am sure they would not have apologized to a single person. I personally knew two that was on the Bataan death march. We owe no apology to Japan
NO way we should apologize for ending the war they started. If we wouldn t of dropped the A-bombs thousands of Americans we have died by invading the mainland of japan.
