Not to mention the internment of Japanese citizens by both the Americans
and Canadians at the start of the war, or the fact that the POW camps
that the British set up treated German prisoners worse than the Germans
treated the Allied POW's. Or the fact that the US government not only
spared but actively recruited the Nazi scientists and secret service
agents smuggling them out of Germany before the Russians could get their
hands on them. Or probably the second worst atrocity of the war (after
of course the Holocaust) the fact that the US military essentially nuked
a second Japanese city because they wanted to see how a differently
configured nuke would work.

But then which society in history has been perfect in regard to human
rights... Every major society has screwed some group over at some point
in their development
