"Let the world say, 'Here is the fruit of the genocide of untold millions of Chinese, Singaporeans, Filipinos, Koreans, and countless others.' Let history say, 'Here is where that genocide was dealt a mortal blow." -What the President DIDN'T say when he visited Hiroshima yesterday.

What fell from the sky wasn't "death." It was what STOPPED death, in the form of the genocide which had been so savagely inflicted upon an entire continent by the perpetrators of the only atrocity in history which is perfectly analogous to what the Nazis did in Europe. The bombing ended the most catastrophic war in human history. What fell from the sky brought "peace." And the people that benefited the most from that bombing were the Japanese themselves. Because the alternative was an invasion of the mainland, and if that happened, they might have died to the last child. An invasion would have hurt the Japanese far more than it would have hurt America.

So we can add 'historian' to the long list of thing Obama sucks at. It's on the list just after 'Cuban tango dancer', maybe the last thing I would have assumed he'd be good at.

I'm not saying you go over there thumping your chest and doing a touchdown dance. But we are not to blame for this, their previous leaders are to blame.

It's a somber moment. But to fail to remember it accurately, is to invite it to happen again.
