Sol - sorry, I don't know how to embed a URL. Bill Whittle (Eject Eject Eject and an incredible writer) had this response to Jon Stewart a month or two ago after he called Truman a war criminal.
It lays out for those who think we should not have dropped the bombs, what we were truly facing. It was an incredible slap at Stewart who apologized a day or two after his broadcast.
I don't know if Stewart ever saw this but it sure clears things up:

That's fine, it works.
Yeah, I remember that. Great!
Sol, I want to point you to a GREAT interview of Former Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton on NPR's The Takeaway.
John Bolton on Negotiating with Terrorists
By John Hockenberry, Amy Holmes
Guest: Ambassador John Bolton

Note host Hockenberrys comparison of two female journalists accidentally crossing a narrow stream into NK to terrorists entering the Pentagon.
The majority of the comments to the interview are MINDBLOWING too.
This reinforces my decision to NEVER, EVER, contribute a single penny to NPR.
Wow. Hockenberry is unbelievable.
