Only U.S., has used Nuclear Bomb in Heroshima & Nagasaki & is not U.S. a Terrorist / Fascist Country / Nation?

Question

Only U.S., (Christian Nation) has used Nuclear Bomb in Heroshima & Nagasaki, during Second World War and killed millions of innocent civilians and no other country has used the Nuclear Weapon. Is not United States a Terrorist / Fascist Nation?
Are not the Amercians 'Christian Terrorists'?
Should not U.S.A., be disarmed with Nuclear Weapon?

Answer 1

First of all, I THANK GOD everyday that I live in the U.S. and have all the freedom I do.

However, your point is well-taken. I know WHY we dropped those bombs, and it is terrible that all the innocent citizens died, but don't forget Pearl Harbor. Don't forget the Holocaust. Although those weren't "nuclear" weapons per say, they had about as big of an impact on our citizens and innocent Jews. That's WHY we did it, we had to or the whole world could be taken over by Communist terrorists by now.

I still struggle with the fact that we used this tremendous technology to kill all those innocent Japanese citizens. I am not living in a glass bowl; I know most of the world views the U.S. as the "terrorists". I understand why, but I don't believe we are "terrorists". We stand for freedom, democracy, equal rights, etc. etc. etc. Face it; life in the U.S. is far better than life in Iraq, correct?

Also, think about the fact, we have all these nukes, if we really wanted to be assholes, we could have used them a long time ago to take out the whole Middle East plus China and North Korea for that matter. Now they try to use diplomacy...not sure it is working according to "plan", but at least we haven't used the technology that we certainly could lay out at a moment’s notice. I believe that is why we CAN'T be called terrorists by your theory.

P.S. The U.S. isn't all Christian. There are Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Tom Cruise like people, etc. So, my point is, calling the U.S. "Christian Terrorists" is not even correct is SO many levels, first being the fact that we are all so diverse here.

Answer 2

Here is the answer I gave to a similar question.
Truman made the decision to bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki. You can't second guess that decision based on 21st century knowledge and circumstances. You need to look at it from a historical perspective. WWII had been going on for 4 years and the allies were gearing up for a full scale invasion of the Japanese home islands. That would have made Iraq look like a walk in the park. Estimates were that a million would die, on both sides. The generals came to Truman with a weapon that was felt could stun the Japanese into surrender and at the same time keep Stalin at bay. The "moral line" of killing thousands of civilians in one night in bombing raids had already been crossed in Berlin and Dresden and Tokyo. In that respect the 100k (not millions) dead in Hiroshima and Nagasaki was nothing new. What was new was the affects of radiation which were not well understood at the time. Had Truman been making the decision years later he might have made a different one. But he didn't have that option.
One more thing. Japan declared war on the United States after the Pearl Harbor attacks had already begun. The US declared war on Japan the next day.
I do agree that I would like to see all countries get rid of their nuclear weapons.

Answer 3

If you are going to ask a question like this, don't just look at one side of an issue. True the US is the only country to use a nuke, but the use of those nukes ended the war in a sense. Countries like China, Russia, IRAN, and North Korea that do not have the proper safety and security systems in place to handle nuclear materials should not be allowed to have them. I say Iran because I believe that they will have nuclear capability in the near future. On the other hand, US military spending is raised every year. I believe that the whole world should disarm. Period. But that will never happen....

Answer 4

using the atomic bombs on human beings isn't justified. there is information that the jap have been attempting to communicate a resign and that the communications weren't known. there is credible information (do a seek and clear out) that the real line of the U. S. approximately killing hundreds of hundreds to save lives is organic propaganda. it somewhat is between the subjects with "worldwide regulation" in that the victors in a conflict or the very effective are on no account introduced to activity for any form of conflict crime. The dropping of the atomic weapons became much less an end to WWII than the hollow photos of the chilly conflict. It became a warning for use as a deterrent against the U.S.. this does not in itself make the U. S. a fascist/terrorist state, in spite of the shown fact that like different imperialist powers, the U. S. has and does have interaction in state terrorism the two rapidly and by using its customer states. the U. S. isn't a Christian state. a minimum of no longer interior the way that Iran, Pakistan and the present Afghanistan are Islamic states, or interior the way that Israel is a Jewish state. it particularly is that there is Christian hegemony and that the ruling elite are fundamentalist Christians, however the state equipment isn't in itself "Christian." the U. S. and all worldwide places could be disarmed of their nuclear weapons, no longer as you recommend WITH nuclear weapons. an exceedingly finished disarmament could be perfect yet no longer likely except a democratic international government might desire to be set up.

Answer 5

First of all, learn to spell. It is Hiroshima. Second, millions did not die, hundreds of thousands died. If the U.S. had not dropped those bombs, how many Japanese would have died if the U.S. had invaded Japan? That number would have been in the millions then. I am sure you believe then that the U.S. started the war with Japan. Japan started that war. If you want to be racist, then you are not any better than those that claim to be racist. I have a feeling that is what you trying to say.

Answer 6

We don't target civillians anymore. Dropping the bomb was a tough descision but saved a lot of lives. The U.S. wants to spread freedom, not submission and to protect innocent civillians from murderers.

Answer 7

At the time it was a matter of probably saving more lives than getting drug down into a big war that would have costed more lives than them two bombs put together.......they should never be used again unless last resort..

Answer 8

You apparently don't understand the difference between fighting a declared war (And Japan attacked first, remember?) and terrorism.

Read history. You might learn something. Here is a good place to start:

Answer 9

We didn't just decide one day to drop the bomb. It was a necessity! These terrorists kill innocents with no reasons whatsoever. Your comparison is idiotic!
