“ The U.S. bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan in August 1945 killed many hundreds of thousands of civilians…”
Typical Newsweek crap writing.
Leaving out the millions of lives saved by not having Allies invade Japan, and wipe out millions of Japanese under fanatic leadership. The Japanese were developing nuclear weapons (with nazi help)— this is little discussed in newsWEAK. Who also seems to forget it was a democrat who ordered the bombs dropped (albeit a VP who was left completely out of the loop of the Manhattan Project).
