And on August 14, 1945, the Japanese formally surrendered & WWII ended. 

Since your letter highlighted the guilt U.S. Army Air Force Chaplain Zabelka felt, it seems you may be asking, "Does Jesus' teaching that we should turn the other cheek and love our enemies mean that it is always wrong to go to war? Should the world have turned the other cheek to Hitler and tried to love him into surrender? When Osama Bin Laden ordered the attack on the World Trade Center, should the U.S. have responded by sending him the Sears Tower as well? [Should America open her arms & hearts, & send NOKO a missile launch plan to the U.S. and her territories?] Or does Jesus allow a place for both loving our enemies and yet, in [dire] situations, using [verbal or physical] force to restrain life-threatening wickedness?" (Perman, Matt. “Did Jesus Teach Pacifism?” 2006).

Mr. Hall, you suggest "...we must admit guilt, and end this madness." In all sincerity, please share your solution to ending "this madness."
