Mass murder

The first atomic bomb used in a military operation was dropped on the city of Hiroshima, Japan at 8:16:02 a m., Hiroshima time. The bomb, called "Little Boy," exploded 1,900 feet above the courtyard of Shima Hospital, with a force equivalent to 12,500 tons of TNT. By the end of 1945, 140,00 people had died as a direct result of the bombing. Within the following five years, another 60,000 would die of bomb-related causes.

The bomb killed men, women, and children indiscriminately. It killed both military personnel and civilians. Although the city produced military items and housed soldiers, it was not selected as a "purely military target" as President Truman had promised. There were six civilians in Hiroshima to every soldier.

The second bomb, called "Fat Man," exploded over Nagasaki, Japan, at 11:02 a.m. on August 9, 1945. It exploded at 1,650 feet with a force of 22,000 tons of TNT. 70,000 people lost their lives in Nagasaki by the end of 1945 due to the bombing. A total of 140,00 died within the next five years.

Both bombings violated a long-standing principle of warfare, that civilians are not to be harmed by military action. That principle and the millions of civilians killed in 20th century wars are the greatest casualties of modern warfare. We cannot rescue the civilians lost in the first nuclear war.

The Japanese ruthlessly slaughtered korean and chinese civilians in their occupation of the korean penninsula and manchuria. Two million people were slaughtered at the hands of the japanese fighting in the name of there emperor. The germans executed 6 million jews during the hollocaust. The death of 140,000 stopped the killing. You need to look a little closer at your facts.

WWII ended in Europe on May, 8th 1945. The nuclear attack doesn't stop the killing of jews and it doesn't end the main part of the war.

It was plain senseless - except the US wanted desperatly see the medical effects of a nuclear attack on humans.

What it stopped was the killing by the japanese in korea and china. It shortened the war in asia considerably and allowed the US to focus on Europe. The US didn't even know for sure if the bomb would even work. None had ever been detonated. There was no way of knowing really what would happen. There was even some concern that a nuclear reaction might cause a chain reaction with the hydrogen in water vapor that would exterminate all life on earth. It was only after the odds of that happening were calculated at a billion to one did they give the go ahead to try it. I'm not for nuclear weapons, but imagine that you had never seen a stick of TNT only a small firecracker. What are the odds of someone lighting the stick off TNT?

This is the most complete bullshit I have ever heard of. You obviously don't have ANY history education.

"The Japanese were already defeated and ready to surrender because of the effective sea blockade and the successful bombing with conventional weapons... In being the first to use it [the atomic bomb], we had adopted an ethical standard common to the barbarians of the Dark Ages."

April 1945: General Curtis le May (US Air Force) expressed a belief that the war could be ended by September or October without an invasion.

May 12: William Donovan, Director of the Office of Strategic Studies, reported to President Truman that Shuichi Kate, Japan's Minister to Switzerland, wished to "help arrange for a cessation of hostilities."

Mid-June: "A surrender of Japan can be arranged with terms that can be accepted by Japan and that will make fully satisfactory provision for America's defense against future trans-Pacific aggression." Admiral W.D. Leahy, President's Chief of Staff.

July 16: The US exploded a nuclear bomb secrety in the New Mexico desert to prove to themselves that it would work.

July 18: Stalin told Truman that he had had a telegram from the Japanese Emperor himself asking for peace. Code-breakers were already aware of this. The Soviet Union was still officially neutral at that time.

August 10: The Japanese publicly broadcast an offer of surrender. Truman ordered conventional military operations to continue full force.

August 14: The Japanese surrender was accepted.

"It would be a mistake to suppose that the fate of Japan was settled by the atomic bomb. Her defeat was certain before the first bomb fell." (UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill.)

"Certainly prior to 31 December 1945... Japan would have surrendered even if the atomic bombs had not been dropped, even if Russia had not entered the war and even if no invasion had been planned or contemplated." (US Strategic Bombing Survey, 1946.)

What does this have to do with KDE??? And, slapping a goddamn "K" on it after this comment does not make it relevant to KDE. Post your emotions on another site. This site is for KDE content!

I come to kde-look for KDE-related material. My thoughts on this politcal statement aside, what the fuck does this have to do with KDE?

That's right, nothing. Other than the fact that KDE has the ability to display these bits as wallpaper.

I dont think kde-look is as 100%pure kde-related as some people here might want it to be. There's tons of wallpapers, that don't have the big K on them here. And most of them are realy good. Some aren't, i think, but that's just my opinion.
Besides, I wonder why it's always people that have contributed NOTHING to KDE-look who have to flame those, who contribute. If you don't like it, don't take it, but don't flame those, who work for kde-look.
And just to give the flame back: Whitewolf, what does

Think about it! It doesn't matter if it has a K on it or not, as long as it looks good. And that lies just in everybodys own opinion.

It's wallpaper isn't it. This is a site for "eyecandy for your kde-desktop". I think it's excellent. Not everybody likes the anodine meaningless postmodernism that most of the wallpapers here have in abundance.

Get over it.
