I'm trying to sort out my feelings and I really vacillate on the why's and 
what's.

However, I find the leftist/anti-imperial argument that "The US had it 
coming," just a bit amusing.  I mean if 6,000 US citizens and 
non-combatants had it coming because they reside in the 
corporate/consumption state, then that shoots the shit out of all of the 
anti-Hiroshima/Nagasaki arguments the left has made in the past.  If US 
citizens were guilty and deserved to die then the rationale should apply to 
the Japanese civilians too.

That said, the "Homeland Defense" office will come in quite handy when 
groups like the WTO and IMF meet in the uS.
