Ah yes - August. So, it is time for the annual America should feel guilty for bombing Hiroshima & Nagasaki.

I could not disagree more. The thread here from last year is kind of interesting. I recommend Raedwolf's post from 13 August (about the middle). I stated my blood-thirsty views in that thread. They have not changed.

Why did Japan attack Pearl Harbor, the Phillipines, Singapore and Burma? Why did the US cut off sale of materiel to Japan? Why did Japan invade China? Why did no one in Japan mount an effective way to stop the spiral of rampant militarism?

It was only a matter of time before the great secret of nuclear weapons were uncovered. Getting the genie back in the bloody bottle was always the issue, wasn't it?
