It is inhumane not to feel deeply for the horrific suffering of innocent people who suffered so terribly from the nuclear attacks in Japan.

Not using the bombs would have resulted in at least a half million American dead and three million or more Japs, plus millions more hurting. Outside of a few individuals who deserve to suffer, I prefer quick, clean kills, so I guess I'm humane.

No argument from me on that. The bombing was the right thing to do, absolutely.
