WATERBOARDING AND HIROSHIMA

Bret Stephens has a very interesting op-ed in the Wall Street Journal. Mr. Stephens compares the debate over waterboarding with the actions of much of the World, including the United States during World War II. the death of Paul Tibbets, Jr. the pilot of the plane that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima was a reminder of another time when our country was at war, and the steps we took to save American lives. Call me crazy if you want, but I don't think we were wrong to drop the Atomic bomb on Japan, and I would have no problem with taking any action necessary to protect American lives today. If that means we are lowering ourselves to the level of our enemies, then so be it.
