They started it and treated all non-Japanese as inferior.

War is hell.

Don't start nothin'- won't be nothin'!

Science has no moral code—unlike religion. In truth we shouldn’t have used it on a city-—the first one should have been on a military site after telling Japan what we had and offering a chance for surrender. Blow up a military target—wait a week—THEN start to blow up cities. The fire raids were almost as bad in terms of loss of life. No invasion, just starve them out and keep offering a peace deal. BUT, hindsight is 20-20. Ask yourself this—if they had the bomb—would they have dropped it on San Francisco? You bet.
