If you sneak attack a country and kill thousands of people, all the while talking peaceful on the political side at the same time, should you not pay the price?
Japan was warned before either bomb was dropped and they still did not heed the warning. They were even told which city was going to be hit each time.
I personally think it says a lot about the US Military that only two were dropped in the span of 3 days, and warning was given prior to both. Any other weapon and it would have been used extensively, and without warning. The bombs were not dropped in hate, they were not dropped carelessly. They were dropped to stop a determined enemy that would not surrender unless faced with total annihilation.
Estimates are that Millions of people would have died had the US invaded Japan, on both sides. This was a war started by a Japanese sneak attack against America. America's answer was more than Japan could handle.
If you smack me and I smack you back, don't complain.
