Well "those people" are c*nts

They can be whatever you want them to be.

It would be like me saying the people who died in 911 deserved it.

Unfortunately there's constantly conflict between using a nation's name as a representation of it's people, who may have completely different views than the government that rules it. That's why even when fighting a war with a nation, civilians are regarded as "innocents." However, it is still common to use a collective term like "Iraqis" even when only discussing insurgents. The people of 9/11 didn't necessarily deserve to die, but the government behind them provoked it.

Marking the anniversary of Hiroshima and Nagasaki is not about justifying anything. Its about sympathy.... a basic human emotion.

Oddly enough, this is a point I find interesting. In comparison to 9/11, who defines the 9/11 attack as justification for war and who regards it as a day for mourning, or even both? There are people out there who would contend the first point. Would the Japanese war machine consider this distinction if they had the means to continue to fight after the bombings?
