    Default Daily Show calls Truman a war criminal

    Not sure how old this is, but is there really a large contingent of people who believe Truman is a war criminal? I don't t usually take Jon's forays into the political arena too seriously but got to say I lost some respect for him on this one.

    He was a war criminal and was not the only US President I would label a war criminal either. There are a lot of war criminals roaming free in the world and they only seem to be tried arbitrarily. If you are seen to be very powerful and influential then you can get away with commiting war crimes.

    Miles can you please explain how Truman is a war criminal? Please include what you would have done in his position to defeat Imperial Japan.

    I've heard many respectable historians make a similar assertion. Not that he was a war criminal, but that the dropping of the atomic bombs was unnecessary and that it had more to do with demonstrating American might to the Russians than it did with ending the war with Japan.

    He had no reason to apologize. He was correct in his assertion.
