OK, you - American bomb, plane, pilots and decision. But I felt that saying 'you' at that point seemed faintly accusatory and changed the tone of what I was trying to say. We were Allies, I bet Churchill didn't have a problem with it.

That's because Churchill was usually bombed himself. In fact, the original plans called for dropping Churchill over Hiroshima.

Not that I was trying to keep all responsibility (and the prestige that goes w/ it?) for the bombing over here. It just sounded odd for you to say "we", when one would expect most people to want to stay as distanced from such a thing as possible.

All these extremist claiming that they will erradicate the "infidels" in battle, all in the name of thier religion. yet they use cowardly tactics ie: "homicide" bombing, and hijackings. to me it doesn't say much for thier religion.

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change.
The courage to change the things I cannot accept.
And the wisdom to hide the bodies of all the people I had to kill today because they pissed me off.

Remember when your parents told you it's dangerous to play in traffic?

Really? Because I think it's prefectly reasonable.

Could be just me though.
