I get tired of these anti Obama postings by EM. His hatred of this man goes beyond any rational thinking. This was a great speech by a great President. No one else could have spoken for all mankind in this way. The reaction in Japan was one of tears and remembrance. I weep for the millions who have died in the Congo, the three million who have died before their time in Zimbabwe under Robert Mugabe – that is a third of the population and another third has fled to other countries. EM seems to have no understanding of these issues at all, but then he is paid to spread these silly articles. He is worse than a prostitute in the political realm.

Obama Ignores Japanese Atrocities in Hiroshima: US Decision to Drop Atom Bomb Arose from "Humanity's Worst Instincts"
Jim Hoft May 27th, 2016
Barack Obama does it again.
The jackass apologized for American actions in World War II and ignored the evils of Imperial Japan.The Imperial Japanese Military committed thousands of war crimes in World War II resulting in the death of millions of civilians and prisoners of war.
Chinese prisoners being buried alive. (Wikipedia)Pacific War put together this list of a few of the Worst Imperial Army and Navy War Crimes during World War II.
INDEX TO SELECTED IMPERIAL JAPANESE ARMY WAR CRIMESThe Rape of Nanking (1937), also known as the Nanjing Massacre
The Bangka Island Massacre (1942): Slaughter of Australian Army Nurses
The Sandakan Death March (1945)
Murder and cannibalism on the Kokoda Track (1942)
Conscripting women for sexual slavery in Japanese Army brothels (1937-1945)
Mutilation and murder of Dutch civilians in Borneo
Murder and cannibalism – captured American pilots
Murder of American pilots and aircrew at Midway (1942)
The bombing of the hospital ship Manunda (1942)
The sinking of the hospital ship Centaur (1943)
Extermination of survivors of merchant vessels sunk by the Japanese (1943-45)
But facts don't matter to the current US president.
Today Barack Obama equated all the players in World War II – and ignored the atrocities of the Japanese military.
What an offensive idiot.
The New York Times posted the transcript of Obama's Hiroshima speech.Why do we come to this place, to Hiroshima? We come to ponder a terrible force unleashed in a not-so-distant past. We come to mourn the dead, including over 100,000 Japanese men, women and children, thousands of Koreans, a dozen Americans held prisoner.
Their souls speak to us. They ask us to look inward, to take stock of who we are and what we might become.
It is not the fact of war that sets Hiroshima apart. Artifacts tell us that violent conflict appeared with the very first man. Our early ancestors having learned to make blades from flint and spears from wood used these tools not just for hunting but against their own kind. On every continent, the history of civilization is filled with war, whether driven by scarcity of grain or hunger for gold, compelled by nationalist fervor or religious zeal. Empires have risen and fallen. Peoples have been subjugated and liberated. And at each juncture, innocents have suffered, a countless toll, their names forgotten by time.
The world war that reached its brutal end in Hiroshima and Nagasaki was fought among the wealthiest and most powerful of nations. Their civilizations had given the world great cities and magnificent art. Their thinkers had advanced ideas of justice and harmony and truth. And yet the war grew out of the same base instinct for domination or conquest that had caused conflicts among the simplest tribes, an old pattern amplified by new capabilities and without new constraints.
In the span of a few years, some 60 million people would die. Men, women, children, no different than us. Shot, beaten, marched, bombed, jailed, starved, gassed to death. There are many sites around the world that chronicle this war, memorials that tell stories of courage and heroism, graves and empty camps that echo of unspeakable depravity.
Yet in the image of a mushroom cloud that rose into these skies, we are most starkly reminded of humanity's core contradiction. How the very spark that marks us as a species, our thoughts, our imagination, our language, our toolmaking, our ability to set ourselves apart from nature and bend it to our will — those very things also give us the capacity for unmatched destruction.
How often does material advancement or social innovation blind us to this truth? How easily we learn to justify violence in the name of some higher cause.
Every great religion promises a pathway to love and peace and righteousness, and yet no religion has been spared from believers who have claimed their faith as a license to kill.
Nations arise telling a story that binds people together in sacrifice and cooperation, allowing for remarkable feats. But those same stories have so often been used to oppress and dehumanize those who are different.
What an idiot.
He's still equating all religious violence unwilling to see the 28,452 deadly attacks in the name of Islam since the 9-11 attacks in New York and Washington. And how many Christian attacks have occurred during this same time frame?
