47. RACIST AND ETHNOCENTRIC STATEMENTS by you
The value of human life and You have to clarify your ethnocentric and racists statements?




The Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki killed about 250.000 people and became the most dreadful slaughter of civilians in modern history. Beneath the center of the explosion, temperatures were hot enough to melt concrete and steel. Within seconds, 75,000 people had been killed or fatally injured with 65% of the casualties nine years of age and younger. http://ahboon.net/2007/02/07/hiroshima-the-unseen-pictures/



Children flee a napalm strike. This picture was to become one of the most iconic of the war.

The Hanoi government revealed on April 4 that the true civilian casualties of the Vietnam War were 2,000,000 in the north, and 2,000,000 in the south. Military casualties were 1.1 million killed and 600,000 wounded in 21 years of war.

Note: Given a Vietnamese population of approximately 38 million during the period 1954-1975, Vietnamese casualties represent a good 12-13% of the entire population. To put this in perspective, consider that the population of the US was 220 million during the Vietnam War. Had The US sustained casualties of 13% of its population, there would have been 28 million US dead


The US is not innocent of the behavior that
you are accusing the Chinese of.
