President Obama visits the Hiroshima war memorial, and calls for a moral evolution. We contrast three worldviews here: the Democrat worldview, the Republican worldview, and our worldview. We dust off the old “just war” theory from Western Christian history and go after the scorched earth approach to warfare that got its start with. . . you guessed it . . .William Tecumseh Sherman. The general had choice words for the blacks, and is well known for encouraging the extermination of the Plains Indians. If God’s law provides anything, it provides a definition between good and evil. How ‘bout we resurrect this in our day?

“ Great Sermon! ” - "The Soviet entry into the war played a much greater role than the atomic bombs in inducing Japan to surrender because it dashed any hope that Japan could terminate the war through Moscow's mediation," said Tsuyoshi Hasegawa, whose recently published "Racing the Enemy" examines the conclusion of the Pacific war and is based on recently declassified Soviet archives as well as U.S. and Japanese documents..
- He is quoted in Hasegawa's book as saying, "If we miss (the chance) today, the Soviet Union will take not only Manchuria, Korea and Sakhalin, but also Hokkaido. We must end the war while we can deal with the United States."
- "The Soviet attack changed all that," Charman said. "The leadership in Tokyo realized they had no hope now, and in that sense August Storm did have a greater effect on the Japanese decision to surrender than the dropping of the A-bombs."
- As the United States dropped its atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, 1.6 million Soviet troops launched a surprise attack on the Japanese army occupying eastern Asia. Within days, Emperor Hirohito's million-man army in the region had collapsed.
It was a momentous turn on the Pacific battleground of World War II, yet one that would be largely eclipsed in the history books by the atomic bom
