Nice to see War Angel support the deliberate obliteration of 2 cities by the US, it shows he isn't above hypocracy.

It was to save US lives. That was it. You can dress it up all you wish but that was the sole reason. Saving US lives means keeping good Ol Truman in office.
It's not hypocritical. Asking for peace without the bombs would have gotten us nowhere. The Japanese military wasn't going to surrender even with the bombs. You'd probably be surprised, but killing the enemy has ended pretty much every war in the history of the world.

Oh, and do you really think that? Prove it. We've proven that the bomb did a lot more than that, so unless you're a mind reader who met one of the people who decided to drop the bomb, shut up.
