Why some people think that nuking Hiroshima and Nagasaki is unjustified?

Question

Nobody is ever completely innocent except unborn children. But that's irrelevent. We killed the citizens of Japan because their government was an immediate threat to ours, not because they were guilty of something.

The real tragedy is that so many people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki weren't saved. In one fell swoop, the United States sent the populations of two cities to Satan.Jesus saves!!!!

Answer 1

Wow. Just wow.

Answer 2

I wonder what those who do think if, God forbid, some butt-wipe was holding a gun to their kid's head?

Hiroshima and Nagasaki were tragedies, but necessary ones. The deaths of those 110,000 to 200,000 people in August 1945 broke the will of nation set on fighting to the last man, woman and child. If not for their sacrifice, a million or more American servicemen likely would have died invading Japan, with millions more wounded and literally tens of million of dead Japanese.

When faced with that assessment, President Truman did the only thing humane, reasonable and merciful...and hundreds of millions of people are alive today due to his brave decision.

Answer 3

I see you bought into the party line about the whole issue and didn't dig any deeper for some real facts about those 2 bombings. There's no justification for nuking someone as a show of power my friend, when such a demonstration the way it was originally discussed might have been JUST AS EFFECTIVE without killing people, and that's all it was really about, flexing muscle and posturing at Potsdam and follow-up with a live demonstration, despite Japanese attempts to try to come to the "table", which went ignored.

Answer 4

Ive been to both cities. It was not pretty, but it was nessessary. As for the Jesus comment. You are probably just kidding around, and if your not, ots just one more reason to despise christains
