	     "... Another thing	which I	find  interesting  is  that
	    there  hasn't  really  been	a sense	of guilt in America
	    about either the bombings  of  Hiroshima  or  Nagasaki,

       You are confused.  The United States was	at war with  Japan.
       The Germans2 were systematically	murdering innocent  civili-
       ans,  in	an attempt to completely annihilate a people.


Gee, Robert, correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that those were
*innocent* Japanese *civilians* we dropped the bombs on.
