blah blah... we did it because it had to be done, the end

Agreed.

I don't feel a bit guilty about it. We killed several hundred thousand of the ENEMY to save a couple million of our citizen-soldiers.

We have nothing to be guilty about.

Too bad we haven't learned from this on the war on terror. If we had there would be mushroom clouds over some mosques.

Would it not have been more moral to demo the bomb on a remote island in fron t of Jap representatives to acheive a surrender?

If they, upon seeing the results continued, to resist....then we drop the bomb?

Amen.

An excellent series on the history channel, 'The Last Days of WW2'shows how fanatical the Japs were.

Not only willing to kill us but themselves!

The militaristic mindset that controlled them was not unlike that of terrorist today.

Moreover, they had perfected biological warfare (using our POW's as guina pigs) and were planning on using it against our cities.

The Japanese should be thankful the Americans were not as vengful as the Russians, after what they did to the people they controlled (Nanking, Manila) and our POW's.

I dont..

those eho feel guilty or opposse the use of teh A-bomb have never never ever come up with an alternate ending for the war that results in fewer than the 200,000 dead from both A-bombs
