What was the point of your 10:57 pm post??? It had no point. These missiles were so close to the US that a Soviet strike would take out the majority of the US retaliation measures. This meant that there would be no deterrent to a first strike by the Soviets. You are making strong opinions on things you don't fully understand.
How can you reasonably think that the United States is responsible if an Israeli soldier shoots a Palestinian? Israel manufactures it's own rifles for one thing. The US sells weapon systems like the Apache helicopter in accordance to a United Nations resolution in 1947 that created the state of Israel on Israeli ancestral land. What Israel does to defend itself from incessant, relentless arab attacks is its business. I wonder how you would react if every day some fanatical group blew up a cafe full of teenagers in your neighborhood.
The Hiroshima Nagasaki nuclear strike is complicated, not a black and white issue like you believe. Hundreds of thousands of US soldiers would have been killed in an invasion of Japan and millions of Japanese would have fought to the death if it wasn't for those strikes. The conflict would have gone on for years, and Stalin would have joined in for a share in the power distribution. I have actually researched this topic extensively and I am sure you don't have a clue what the issues were at the time.
