I have always thought we should not have allowed Japan to surrender so easily. We should have bombed them for another six months to a year. They wanted to live like animals and we should have reduced them to that state. We were to soft to our enemies. Our leaders were only wanting to make a lot of money off the war.

Very un-Christian attitude.

The atomic bombs were to win the war fast, and Hiroshima and Nagasaki should have been bombed. The bombing shouldn't have been to get payback or to punish the entire Japanese nation, including babies and young children. They should have been bombed until they surrendered--which is basically what happened. After surrender, the bombing should have ceased, and individual Japanese could be prosecuted.

Motive. Motive.

The Romans pioneered the "soft on the enemies" thing in what are now called "The Social War(s)".

It worked; a powerful Roman Republic was created. They conquered the world and spread their culture, and paved the way for a higher ethic we call Christianity.
