[net.politics] Out of Context Quotation

rjb@akgua.UUCP (R.J. Brown [Bob]) (02/07/84)

I recently submitted an article and a certain Mr Twiss
quoted me out of context.

Let me reassert Mr Twit

If you and i are at war ( as in WWII )
and i can kill about 200k of your people
while sparing about 1 million of mine,
and at the same time end the war - by
definition that is merciful to my side.

I am sorry that some of the people who
were exposed to the atomic weapons of 
WWII are still suffering.  The resonsibility
for their suffering lies with the leaders of
the late, great Japanese Empire - not the USA.
