You know i think its wrong, but if you think hard about it, people have toys immitating many events from world war 2 (d day, kursk, etc.) And there are video games and movies about it. So whats really the difference between a movie or video game and a toy? -------------

I would do another quote but its already been quoted 4 times. But may i ask you something else? When we nuked Hiroshima, think about how many lives we killed that were innocent, while the Japanese only attacked our soldiers. I dont really see a difference betweeen Hiroshima and 911, its like the War on Terror and World War 2. -------------

in american school they teach you that it was right thing to do, just because in america ppl are tought that america is never wrong and is always perfect. think about it what has america done in history that was wrong???? if you cant think of anything thats because you have been brain washed. ------------- <1 meg sig = bad> |

Read your history books a little closer, grasshopper. Civilians died at Pearl Harbor as well. Yes a nuke was nessiscary to end WWII. The Japanesse were willing to fight till the every last person and the United States had to show them that it was possible and at a very large disadvantage in their favor. It was the right move at the time. -------------

I can't believe people are comparing WWII games to this toy. WWII wasn't some random terrorist attack. It's that simple.

yes, but Hiroshima had probable cause. And it's not like there were too many innocent in Japan. They recruited almost the entire population to defend their homeland. We needed to nuke Hiroshima to saves millions of other lives. Also, we killed more people in fire bombings against Tokyo, than in Hiroshima. |

The bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki actually saved millions of
lives. It saved millions of Americans and millions of
Japanese. To invade Japan would mean billions of
casualties. Japan was ready to fight until every last one of
their people was dead. The bombs weren't necessary. We
could've have invaded and killed millions upon millions of people.

you say that...why? A nuke was nessiscary to end the war, without many many more american soldiers dieing when trying to get to the capital of japan. I'd rather a bunch of japanese die than a bunch of japanes and americans die. It was a right move at the right time because japan did not beleive they had the weapon, germany had just surrendered, and everyone was tired of war. While you may not feel the same way, it was a good move. Hades is in every way correct.
And you think the world trade towers attack(s) were random? Nope. Just like The japanese attacking pearl harbor, the Taliban had a reason to attack the world trade towers, and that was because of location. Osama had tried twice before to take down one of the towers, and failed both times, obviously. Now what makes that different from pearl harbor, other than pearl habor not having as many civilians there? -------------

Gee, I don't know...maybe the Twin Towers and the Airplane in the middle with a serial number of 9011 did it for me.
