You called my post about bombings of two japanese cities by US nuclear devices as "ignorance towards the events of WW2 ", huh?
Boy, go play your toy gundams or console games instead of desperate attempts to chat with adult persons.

People sometimes seem to forget that Japan was the aggressor not the US who helped liberate most of the countries occupied by the brutal Japanese forces..

Unfortunately, history doesn't know such terms as "if", "could", "would", "should".
