[GreenKeys] Enola Gay images available...

[WF2U]

You and your kind of pacifists (as if the rest of us want war and you and
your ilk are the only ones who are against it) are so naive and completely
lack  any knowledge of history. Whatever little you may know, you distort.

Anyway, Enola Gay and Boxcar (the Nagasaki bomber) are great reminders,
together with the heroes who crewed them, that dropping the bombs saved at
least a million American lives, and at least that many Japanese lives by
persuading Japan to surrender so an invasion and ground fighting there
didn't have to take place. By the way many more Japanese perished from
conventional bombs and other aerial munitions than from these two atomic
bombs.
Don't preach to us about "awful acts human beings are able to perform". The
Japanese weren't slouches in that department, either!
And don't be sarcastic referring to our history and artifacts. We're not
mentioning anything about some artifacts in  "your wonderful homeland" so
you can kiss them.
