question for JanissaryHiroshima And The Atomic Bomb

If terrorists were boming US cities one by one. Would you like it when the president went on television and begged for mercy when he has nukes to end the whole thing? 

Killing people is just wrong, it does not matter who is killed. it is just wrong. But what can we say , the world is crazy, tough decisions have to be made.

Justification of A-Bomb useHiroshima And The Atomic Bomb

Although terrible that it was used on civilians, because it was used the world knows the horror and destruction an A-bomb has on the environment and civilization. Now mankind is probably more skeptical to use the weapon after WWII, which is probably why the bomb hasn't been used in war since 1945.Who knows without the bomb, perhaps Japan would have not given up and the world would be plagued with an oppressive, human right violating, war criminal ran totalitarian dictatorship in the pacific. Perhaps Japan would have been defeated without the bomb, but the soviet union without knowing the horror of the A-bomb would have used the bomb on the US or vise versa later on.

In the end the world is a probably a better place because the bomb was used, maybe the US could have picked another target. At least the Americans had the decency not to bomb Kyoto, which was a target but taken off the list because of its meaning to Japanese people. Anyways Japan shouldn't have bitten off more than it could chew by declaring war on the US in the first place

saving lives and ending catastrophie go Paul Tibbets and Tom FerbereeHiroshima And The Atomic Bomb

The A-bomb is completely justified in my opinion because that is all I can speak for MY OPINION. We saved lives by not storming the beaches and getting slaughtered. We expressed our power and how far we would go to win. It was economically better. Started a new age of technology and weapons. It was payback for Pearl Harbor where we lost many troops and troops may be troops but they are still people. Killing around 120,000 people and saving supposedly Millions is enough reason for me to back it up.
