Like I said earlier, a much worse Islamic attack will come on a different day and then some of us can mourn while the rest of you moan about moral relativism.
I am quite aware of the Japanese torture camps, bamboo up the fingernails, etc...Are you aware as to the Catholic Church's teachings regarding human life and civilian deaths? The church is vehemently against the involvement of civilians in warfare, and the destruction of Nagasaki and Hiroshima obviously resulted in a massive number of civilian deaths. I am not saying whether or not it was right to drop the A-bombs; rather, I am pointing out the hypocrisy of my school, which is backed by the church.(which is a favorite pasttime of mine)
