Not to make an argument over it, because each side had their bad points. But there were over 3 million Jews in Poland prior to the start of the Final Solution. By 1945 there were less than 10,000 left.

You're numbers are off, but the point is taken. The numbers from the Shoah are around 6 million, while Stalin was responsible for 20 million deaths (for a variety of different reasons - starvation, forced relocation, direct execution, etc.).

If six dead and hundreds more injured were not enough to galvanize the new commander in chief, neither was the murder of 18 American soldiers in Somalia shortly afterward. The State Department confirmed that bin Laden had helped train the terrorists who killed these soldiers and dragged the body of one through the streets of Mogadishu. Clinton did nothing to retaliate after the incident, blamed Gen. Colin Powell privately for the mess and, indeed, according to administration sources, learned from the fracas only the importance of staying out of dangerous foreign entanglements. For his part, bin Laden learned that the United States was not serious about countering the public murder of its own soldiers abroad or civilians at home.

That's not all the Japanese did. Don't forget all the confort women they systematically forced into prostitution.. all the human testing.. for all their crimes they almost deserved to get nuked..

The Irish at least came here of their own accord and we haven't done too badly in this country.
The near extermination of the Native Americans has to be #1. Conflicts and killings were
to be expected but the systematic round-up and murder was a crime against humanity.
The troops that committed these crimes came right out of the killing fields of the Civil War.
Lincoln's assassination, Stevens his VP was illiterate until his early 20s, Grant, a good general, but very weak president, the drive of our expansion of territory with the transcontinental railroad, all these things made it happen.
But who cared? We were entering The Gilded Age. Our first of several post war economic
booms. ( Cadillac Escalade anyone?)
Unlike what we did to the natives, we own that 100%.
Slavery we inherited, its a crying shame it was not outlawed during the Continental Congress. It was said,"Slavery laid under the table as a coiled snake". Jefferson said,"Its
like holding a wolf by the ears, you don't like it but you dare not let go". They knew it was wrong! Slavery is so close a second the it could be a tie.
Atomic weapons being dropped on Japan?
Read, Hirohito and The Making of Modern Japan
The Last Mission
Eagle Against The Sun
The Rape of Nanking
The Last Mission, documents very well what the Japanese were willing to do to keep us off their home island.
The fire bombing of Tokyo was the major air strike. That should have been the wake up call.
In declared war all bets are off.

Electing George Bush. He is/has singlehandedly raised the hate level towards the US to new highs.
