If true, then, well, then he ain't too bright or wise of a leader. What's the point? What's with all this apologizing? Lordy me, how much apologizing do many nations have to do! Obama seems to look into the past as means to an end to progress. It's faulty logic.
Let sleeping dogs lie. And so let history sleep peacefully where possible.
It's hard to justify anything that takes lives but if we stick to the facts and reality of history, the U.S. did what it had to do to put an end to a war in which Japan had no interest in surrendering.
More to the point, the barbarian acts of Japanese and German atrocities were heinous and without any thought to established rules of engagement in war. Discussion on the legitimacy of American invovlement aside, they raped, maimed, butchered and murdered into the millions.
Dropping the atomic bomb effectively ended the madness started by Europe and engaged an imperialist Japan.
Fate made it so the Americans got the bomb. Not Nazi Germany. Think about that.
Move on.
