The Allied forces of the second world war still carry the stigma of Hiroshima and people are expected to feel conscience stricken abou it. How would another generation feel about facing a similar situation and it's stigma.

Umm..No! The Allied forces of the 2nd World War do not carry any "stigma". They carry nothing but HONOR.
Hiroshima got what it deserved. They never attacked Pearl Harbor again, did they?

No, a nation should not carry the blame for it. Governments though do carry the blame. But I am alarmed by the bluntly hostile and very ignorant comments I read here! This gives me the creeps coming from the citizens of a nation - the symbol of modern democracy.
To believe that taking away thousands of innocent lives is justified! Japan "unexpectedly" attacked Pearl Harbour - a military base in war time. This is terrible, but let's face it - what were the troops thinking they were there for? Holiday?

we should feel conscience stricken. the Japanese were begging to surrender for months before we nuked their civilians. The only sticking point was the role of the emperor, and the US did not want this resolved, it wanted an excuse to show off its new weapon. It was an atrocity, and to do it again on another city is unforgivable. If this generation had to watch a rogue administration use nuclear weapons to make a global point, I would join the revolution.

The people has the right to criticize the leadership that the war is a diabolical act so that the people will not be carried or labelled with the errors of their leaders.

The use of the atom bomb was the most difficult decision a president has ever had to make in the lifetime of the US. But, in hindsight, it saved well over a million casualties, not only US, but Japanese losses. Japan's military warlords would have defended itself from invasion with every human being available. There was a stigma, sure, but we all have to recognize that the use of atomic bombs ended a conflict not of our own choosing. Remember Pearl Harbor. Consequences sometimes have to bear a heavy price.

I've got some news for you, my father was in the army and slated for the invasion of Japan. I have no qualms about the nuclear bombs that were dropped and my conscience is clear.

Yeah, you have a good point. We should just surrender to the Taliban, huh?
