As terrible and horrific that it was, the bombs were necessary. Although I don't understand why we couldn't have dropped them on military targets instead of civilian targets, Japan needed to be stopped. They were the ones that attacked us first, and they were the ones to pay. Given the choice between killing a few thousand civilians with two atom bombs and killing millions of soldiers AND civilians, I would choose the bombs too. I don't WANT those people to die, but if it means averting another war that could be more destructive than the bombs, the bombs will be dropped.
Nowadays obviously this mindset wouldn't work because nearly every powerful country in the world has atom bombs, and if we dropped one today, we should be expecting another one dropping on us.
