Man, I bet you'd wet your pants and cry like a baby if you knew how many innocent civilians were killed in WWII. Cities were indiscriminantly bombed... firebombed... and of course, nuked.
Can you say that it was completely wrong? That the war was not justified because some innocents died?
As for imperialist... How many countries has the US taken over and claimed for itself? Let's see... we invaded Normandy (France), Belgium, Holland, North Africa, Italy, Germany, Korea and Vietnam. How many of those territories belong to the US now? What? None? How is that an empire??

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
