Related Link » Jon Stewart, War Criminals & The True Story of the Atomic Bombs|17min videoMany, nay, I dare say most historical falsehoods never stay dead. Among the most egregious examples, one may include: Holocaust denial; the workability of socialism; and, what I like to call, ignorance of the Eleventh Commandment — Though shalt not f*ck with America. The reasons such zombies continue to rear their ugly heads, seemingly with the emergence of every new group of pretentious intelligencia, probably include humanity's stubborn refusal to learn from mistakes of the past, humanity's reluctance to read history (or anything else, for that matter, except the tabloids at the checkout counter), and youth's inevitable arrogant belief that it knows and understands certain life-principles that countless generations have somehow overlooked.
In the interest of preserving an easily accessible debunking of the nauseating re-occurrence of that insipid contention that the American use of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombs was a war crime, I offer the above-noted related link to an excellent 17-minute video. This video recounts a well documented trail that seemingly requires annual re-traversing during the month of August. Surely, even an ignoramus like Jon Stewart can find 17 minutes in his busy schedule of daily pomposity to become ever-so-slightly less of an asshole.
But I could be wrong. I was once (back in '76, when I thought I had made a mistake).
