Okay, right. So let's hear your warped version of the "truth". That the dropping of the atomic bombs was the only rational way to end the war, because it preserved the greatest amount of life when compared to the alternative of a traditional invasion. That this wasn't an act of terrorism, but one of war, and that American planes dropped flyers that warned Japanese civilians of the impending drops days prior to the actual bombing. That Hiroshima and Nagasaki were both military industrial centers in addition to civilian population centers. That the ruling class of Japan at the time could not be viewed as a rational agent by any reasonable person, and that when dealing with people who are willing to embrace complete destruction over surrender, you need to show them that you are perfectly capable of fulfilling that desire.
Anyone who doesn't realize the necessity of the bombings is either ignorant, or a coward who is unwilling to face the truth.Okay, so what you're saying is...in war, no matter what, it's completely acceptable to drop 2 Atomic bombs on another country's women and children so long as they get Flyers. I'm done arguing with you here.
So as long as only soldiers are the only people getting killed, it's okay to wage war?
Killing over 250,000 people isn't right, obviously. But waging war that would have killed more than a million people isn't a better option.
If you hadn't noticed, war isn't peaches, bunnies, and rainbows.
It's awful, it's nasty, and it comes with an unholy price-tag.
It wasn't the "right" thing to do to nuke two cities. It was what had to be done to save lives on both sides.
If you can't see that, you need to read some history books about the bombings from Authors of England.
