First of all, the US has had nuclear technology for over sixty years, and yet HAS NOT USED IT.
Second, the US has not even THREATENED to use it.
Third, the Iranian government has.
Fourth, North Korea LAUNCHED MISSILES at the US and Japan.
Fifth, Iran is NOT allowed to pursue nuclear technology, as per the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
Sixth, the UN is ALSO upset about the actions of North Korea and the Iranian government.
Seventh, if it was "just for defense", why is it that North Korea and Iran are BOTH threatening other countries?
Eighth, at the time that the nuclear weapons were used on Nagasaki and Hiroshima, it was thought that that was the only way that Japan would surrender. They offered their surrender in March 1945. Roosevelt passed on one month later, Truman assumed the presidency and accepted the EXACT SAME TERMS that FDR refused...after bombing the two cities.
Ninth, the US was not aware of the long-term affects of a nuclear bomb. It was new technology. And it HAS NOT BEEN USED SINCE.
Tenth, would you let someone who threatened the life of your best friend have a gun?
I could go on, but why bother?

The Japanese incident... At that time America is still not sure of the effects of nukes. They have just invented it and Japan is just the experiment rat, since they are at war with USA. Good thing they land it on small cities like Nagasaki. Imagine a nuke in Tokyo. And having nukes make a country feel safe. It is a selfish thing no doubt. I can have nukes and you cannot have one. Thats what USA is saying now.

Uh, America and Russia have over 90% of all nukes. We're not really worried about us. We could stop one coming over here. We're worried about everyone else. If Iran gets a nuke then everyone else will want one and so on. Iran needs to follow UN sanctions but of course the UN won't do anything about his breaking them. Just read some the the statements the President of Iran has said. He's nuts. He wants nukes and he might use them. He's anti Israel bigtime and against the west. He believes Islam will win the war blah blah blah. Just enter his name in a search engine and read about him. Do you really want him to have a nuke?
Japan was so we could avoid the thousands and thousands and thousands of casualties expected when we invaded. The second bomb was dropped because Japan stalled in surrendering. They could have avoided the second one. (Yes, it was also to test the bombs too) Check your history books.

Their atomic bomb had in no way been dropped from the sky in the previous, so as that they mandatory a community which grew to become into untouched via their previous firebombing marketing campaign with a view to degree the completed outcomes of the bomb and take a photo of that excellent mushroom cloud. they did not care approximately civilian lives, please, the final element the human beings have been worried approximately grew to become into the eastern human beings's protection. they could all die, for each and all of the human beings care. The human beings could desire to take their useful photographs and use their spectacular units to degree the completed consequence of the bomb, for study purposes, you be responsive to. that they had spent approximately 3 or 4 years gaining knowledge of, making plans and coming up the atomic bomb, and had spent almost 2 billion money on it. of direction it had for use, regardless of each and every thing that factor and dedication, each and every person grew to become into emotionally linked to the main suitable use of the bomb. And besides, various the eastern armed forces compounds and bases have been already broken or destroyed via the B-29 firebombers, so the human beings mandatory an unscathed and sparkling city, using fact there have been not many different armed forces bases left to break.

Iran and N. Korea are dictatorships, unaccountable for anything they do. They keep on feeding us false promises, to gain time to build military clout. They sponsor terrorism, or help any hate-the-west concern. They threaten us every occasion they can, and do not abide by their word. How can you think the situation is comparable?

Simply becoz america is responsible enuff to handle nukes unlike terrorist potential countries. Can u afford to risk them having nukes and turning into terrorists?
Question: What would you do if they suddenly launched a few nukes into your country?
Answer: Nothing coz ur dead.
So how do you prevent that?

If we had not sent Fat Man and Little Boy to finish the war, we'd be writing this in Japanese right now. Well, that's not really true. We would not even have the freedom to express these opinions in a public forum.
