> Are you saying ISIS should also be left alone and America not try to stop them?

As someone who isn't from America (and actually was born in a country which was subsequently bombed by America during peace time) I've never understood this idea that America is somehow justified in the belief that they are the moral arbiters of the world.

Who put you in charge? If the answer involves "we have a big military" it's interesting that a country obsessed with the concept of freedom is so willing fall back on "empire" when it's convenient. I guess Americans are still British at heart.

> Japanese civilians at the time weren't really innocent.

This sentence made my blood boil. How fucking dare you. America bombing civilian residences in order to handle other country's civil wars is not helping anyone. Fuck you.

> The whole country was working for the war effort, mainly to kill other Asian people.

Interesting rhetoric, given that America spends half a fucking TRILLION dollars a year on the military.

On HN, please don't react by going into a rage when someone else says a terrible thing. It does no good and only pulls us further into a downward spiral.
