The atomic bomb was invented in the 'secret' 'Manhattan' project, led by Oppenhiemer. It was dropped on Japan by American pilots (twice) under the orders of then-president, Truman. The targets were the small industrial cities of Hiroshima & Nagasaki, which, because they were engaged in producing military materials, were arguably military targets. The purpose was to bring about a swift Japanese surrender, rather than a grueling invasion like that of Okinawa which would have cost, perhaps, millions of lives on both sides. Casualties exceded 600,000 - high, but not exceptionally so compared to the earlier strategic bombing of Germany by the allies, nor, really, compared to the total loss of life for the War, which was over 70 /million/.

Oppenheimer was lead scientist. Was dropped to end war b/c Japanese were much worst than Iraqis. Whole of population would have been suicidal US would never have gotten into government to control and rebuild japan, would proably been real ugly and savage fighting a conventional war o mainland japan. Needed something decisive to stop everything. Was dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima, which were industrial cities.

The A-bomb question. Favorite subject of liberal historical revisionist trying to apply 2007 liberal morals on a conflict that ended 62 years ago.
It wouldn't happen today, but in 1945 dropping the bomb on Japan saved millions of lives...
