When was the last time you followed a history course in my country?

No, it does not. The majority of historians here say that those bombs were not
necessary. The majority of the historians here say that Europe would have dealt
with Hitler on its own. Hitler had already placed himself in a position where
he could not possible win, long before the US entered the scene.

 > It's your ignorance

No, it is your short sightedness that keeps you from admitting that your POV is
not the only one.

 > and your hatred of my country that blind you to the truth.

I do not hate your country. I do hate people who in the name of patriotism or
religeon try to enforce their ways of doing things on others. And there are
many of those in the USA. Unfortunately. :-(

We, however are not so fortunate that the people of the USA see it that way AND
wish to impose their crooked idea of how a man should live his life upon us.

You see, I am quit happy with my life. And I wouldn't really care what you
think about it if you (y'all) did not have the ambition to change my life and
abuse your military force to get what you want... :-(

 > Mikey, if I had any respect for you at all,

I am not asking for respect. Respect is a two way street and it has to bo
earned. You have done nothing to earn my respect and so you don't get any from
me. And so I am not asking for yours either.

 > I'd be happy to call you whatever you wanted me to call you.

All I ask is that you follow the rules of common courtesy and refrain from
using derogatory name calling.

Cheers, Michiel
