I am coming in a little late, but it seems that some people here have a BIG problem with the fact that the U.S might be right and or might be (GASP) morally in the right. The A bomb was a needed and very good thing to end ww2. The Japanese, had been training for months as to what they would do if the U.S invaded. They had sharpened bamboo poles that they gave to elderly women and they also taught little kids how to kill soldiers. Without the A bomb the loss of life could have been in the hundreds of thousands if not millions. It was to bad that the people had to die to show that the U.S was going to win. And yes I do know the horror that followed those bombs, I have studied them and I still think that they were the right decision.

Americans weren't told any of this. Most still not aware.

I'll bet NONE of you knew any of this. Most of our own military commanders were "against" these "barbaric" and "inhumane" acts! http://free.freespeech.org/americanstateterrorism/usgenocide/HiroshimaNagasaki.html www.oneworld.org/news/world/bloomfield.html

I repeat, look up the Carlyle Group and see who is on the board of director and what buisiness they do, and with whom. The corruption isn't at the bottom.... Donald Rumsfeld didn't get rich by chasing penny ante MRE contracts.

Thanks for teh Carlisle Group link. I read it completely and found the list of members contains a lot of Republican insiders. I suppose that in addition to John Major, there are probably a lot of Conservative Party members, too. I only looked-up the bios on a few peopel whose names I recongized.

Carlysle Group......Capitalists with gov connections. So what?

They buy and sell defense contractors, and control many if not most of the big contractors. Conflict of interest for the President, his father, and most of his cabinet to be major stockholders here? You decide.

Is it true? If true, is it legal? You decide.

Its the usual guilt by implication BS that conspiracy theorists live for.

Where's that picture, its time for the foil hat.
