Lets go over a few points:
Was the bomb justified? YES. Look how many people died in urban battles. Look how many died in Stalingrad. 300,000 Russians died in taking berlin alone. One city. 300k... WAY more then both A-bombs killed. Ontop of that, as the Germans inavaded Russia and the Russians invaded Germany, there were massive rapings/murders crimes against civilians. If the USA had invaded Japan, we would have lost like 500k-1 million men, and they would have lost many times more. I can also tell you there would be a whole lot of Japanese with a lot of white features in the years to come, if you get my drift. I garentee they would be discriminated against by the other Japanese. Things would be a lot worse for both counties, the A-Bombs savd a lot of people.
Both cities were supporting the war effort and were indeed military targets. Also, let me be person #137 to say if you mess with the bull you get the horns.. yeah we stopped trading with them, I'll echo all the liberals who say our response for Pearl Harbor was over kill by saying thier responce to us not trading with them was overkill.
Next point: You don't hear this because its not as widely known as the Nazis.. but the Japanese were WAY worse then the Germans, or anyone else in WW2. Any non Jew would beg to be under nazi control rather then Japanese. Japanese saw ALL non Japanese as below them, and took great pleasure in torturing and killing non Japanese. Look what they did to the chinese for years before WW2 started. All you hear is oh poor jews, look at what happened to them, what about all the Chinese the Japs killed. Look it up if your school didn't teach you.
In addition, the Japanese were much worse to their prisoners then the Nazis were. They beheaded and starved thousands of allied prisoners. The Nazis may have machine gunned a few allied prisoners but the Japanese tourtured thiers first... big difference. While the average Japanese citizen did may not have been like this, they did have the belief they were the best and most of them would have fought to the death if told to by thier leaders.
Conclusion is: A-Bombs were justifed, and they saved many, many lives, both Japanese and American. The Japanese were hands down the cruelest of the nations involved in WW2 and had it comming. Lastly, if the A-Bomb had not been used then, it would have been used in Korea or maybe the Cuban Missle Crisis or name any other cold war conflict.
Last thing I want to say, is I find it funny how many euros hate the USA yet play games made in the USA, watch our movies, and listen to our music. I think 75% of them have a MLP avatar which again... is a product of the USA. LOL at you.
