I'm actually going to leave this comment as it is and not reply to it. I have sufficient confidence that those reading this thread who support the use of the atomic bombs will point out its absurdity in short order.

A characteristic response from a moralizer. Unsurprisingly so: you claim authority, but you do nothing to earn it. That’s arrogant enough all by itself, but you go on to declare this authority is absolute and may never be questioned by us lesser mortals. Cheap and easy: a lazy man’s route to power.
