60th Anniversary of Hiroshima Bombing.

[Spiffing Cheese]

It's really hard to have an opinion on whether or not it was the right thing to do. On one hand, Truman's decision to use the atomic bombs may have saved many innocent lives as it ended the war; on the other hand, hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians died due to his decision. If he hadn't done what he did, the world would probably be a different place. Who knows whether or not Japan would have won the war; if they had, what would have happened? So maybe it was a good thing that he did it. Like I said, it is very difficult to decide whether or not I believe what he did was right. Another thing; it is also hard to have an unbiased opinion, isn't it?

EDIT: Actually, I don't believe that it can possibly be justified. They purposely targeted a place full of unarmed, innocent civilians; women and children. If they wanted to prove their power so much, why did they have to do it there? Why couldn't they drop the bomb somewhere deserted, just to show them what power they had?

And for another thing. Maybe they can possibly justify the bombing of Hiroshima. MAYBE. But then, they go and do it again. How do they justify that? Hadn't they already proved what they could do? Proved that, more or less, they'd already won the war?
