What A-Bomb are you talking about, and what do you mean what happened to the natives? Don't you realize that there is a point of view on the subject that defies the way you know it? LOL, leftist, you sound like a faux news talking head, you do realize that you don't have any idea what my political leanings are, and that "leftist" isn't actually an insult in the first place right?
Dropping the charade for a moment, we do recognize exactly what we did to the natives and knowledge of this is a required component of our public education system (unlike your own apparently, that conveniently forgets this sort of shit in favor of the myth of some great and benevolent turkish nation). I'll throw in a link for you about Hiroshima and Nagasaki as well(in case your education system ignores shit like that tool), pay attention to the bit where the ethical justification is not simply granted because we did it. You might also want to read up on Americas role in rebuilding and making amends to Japan for the 50 years or so following the incident. So, again, it's possible to have blood on your nations hands and not be a complete douche about it. As always, whatever is offered as an olive branch by the conquerors is insufficient from an ethical standpoint, but it's something isn't it. Surely something is a tad bit better than denial and continued reference to the sub-human or evil nature of one's conquered "enemies".
