Dropping Nuclear Bombs on Metropolitan Areas is Fine!

Click title to listen.

Is the title shocking? Of course it's a bad thing to drop a nuclear bomb on a populated city. Only a terrorist would think otherwise. Right? Unless we're talking about Hiroshima or Nagasaki. This is a discussion about war and ethics. What's the right thing to do? Republicans like to play the realists in discussions like these, claiming that democrats are idealists when it comes to war. I don't think so. I believe that Republicans believe themselves all reincarnations of a gruff and stern war-wise General Patton. You might have heard the man last week lecturing me about war being hell. He then volunteered that he had never been in a war -- "but he knew all about it." It's like a rite of passage with them. As long as you think nothing of collateral damage, you're wise! If you consider the US soldier expendable, you're fine! If any way is a better way than the bloodiest way, you're naive to them.
