  1. “War is a quarrel between two thieves too cowardly to fight their own battle; therefore they take boys from one village and another village, stick them into uniforms, equip them with guns, and let them loose like wild beasts against each other.” — Thomas Carlyle
    Granted, saddam hussein [sic!] was a despicable tyrant. However, it is rumored that he challenged bush [sic!] to a one-on-one, to-the-death fight. I doubt he wanted to spare his people the holocaust about which Madeleine Albright said “The deaths of 500,000 Iraqi children was worth it.”
    hirohito [sic!] vs. truman [sic!], one on one? Two pieces of worthless space.
    “Enola Gay” (hmm), “Little Boy”, “Fat Man”. Death has never had such appealing names.

    “Myth: The war in the Far East only ended in the summer of 1945, when the US president and his advisors felt that, to force the fanatical Japanese to surrender unconditionally, they had no other option than to destroy not one but two cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, with atom bombs. This decision saved the lives of countless Americans and Japanese who would have perished if the war had continued and required an invasion of Japan.

    Reality: Hiroshima and Nagasaki were destroyed to prevent the Soviets from making a contribution to the victory against Japan, which would have forced Washington to allow Moscow to participate in the postwar occupation and reconstruction of the country. It was also the intention to intimidate the Soviet leadership and thus to wrest concessions from it with respect to the postwar arrangements in Germany and Eastern Europe. Finally, it was not the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but the Soviet entry into the war against Japan, which caused Tokyo to surrender.”

    The bottom line: never, ever, piss against the wind.
