This is a good questions and deserves an answer. The decision to murder one hundred thousand human beings was made not by the leadership of the United States but by the Japanese Imperial command when they decided to start and continue the war. So the blood of these people is on the hands of the Japanese Imperial Command and none else.
This is also the case when a murderer is put to death for their crime. The murderer is responsible for the person he killed and his own death; the state who put him to death is not responsible for his murder.
- user-the-name 5y agoAbsolutely not. Every person involved made a choice, of their own free will. You do not get to absolve the ones you like of responsibility and instead put it all on those who you do not. Choices were made. They had consequences.
- DiffEq 5y agoAre you saying that U.S. leadership is responsible for the murders of those that were killed in the strategic bombing of Japan? If you are - then you are wrong.
- user-the-name 5y agoDid they make the decision to kill those people?
