On Friday, President Barry Soetoro traveled to Hiroshima, Japan to lecture the world about the immorality of war ... in particular, the use of atomic weaponry. In fact, just days before our Memorial Day holiday wherein we honor, among many others, the tens of thousands of American military who were killed fighting Japanese aggression, he implied, in his non-apology apology, that Truman's decision to drop the atomic bomb there was "evil." This operative pejorative he slyly slipped into his sermon ... see: Breitbart Story. In truth, Truman's courageous act likely saved hundreds of thousands of American lives and quite a few more Japanese than were killed in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Once again, chin in the air, this man-child in our White House rose above the immorality of humankind and, in the process, sullied the memory of all of those Americans who gave their lives pushing back against this immorality. It was not President Truman who was evil. It is our current preachy pretend moralist.
Afterward: Add to this cloaked apology the fact that the Japanese Prime Minister Abe declined the invitation to travel to Pearl Harbor to return Soetoro's favor. This clearly indicates that Japan still wants it both ways.
After afterward: Ever the clear thinker, read John Hinderaker's thoughts on this sermon in the Powerline Blog.
