Those two bombs saved more Japanese lives than American lives.
How long did you want the war to keep going?
Dropping nuclear bombs on civilian populations, instantly killing hundreds of thousands of innocents, and condemning large numbers of people to a slow and agonizing death for months afterward from the effects of burns, radiation sickness, and other bomb-related injuries, should never, ever be an acceptable tactic of war.

We also didn’t need to use them. The Soviet Union had just declared war on Japan and the Japanese knew they could not last against the combined forces of the US and the USSR. They would have surrendered anyway within perhaps a slightly longer timeframe.
What an idiot Trump is proving himself to be. Thanks to the internationally approved deal worked out by the Obama administration, Iran had stopped it's nuclear enrichment process. Now that Trump violated that agreement - apparently just to undo anything Obama was involved with - Iran is now once again moving forward down the road to nuclear weapons (along with actively threatening the critical oil route through the Persian Gulf). Once again, Trump screws up every single thing he touches:
"Iran has called Trump's bluff
While Washington is increasingly consumed with the impeachment drama, the globe has not stopped spinning and dangerous regimes have not stopped making menacing moves. The latest news comes from Iran, where the regime has just announced it is injecting uranium into centrifuges spinning in a nuclear facility deep inside a mountain in Fordow, raising questions about Iran's intentions to build a nuclear weapon. Since President Donald Trump announced in May 2018 that the US was withdrawing from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), Iran has strayed further from the 2015 accord, which was also joined by China, France, Germany, Russia, Britain and the EU. Under the JCPOA, also known as the Iran nuclear deal, Tehran agreed to limiting its uranium enrichment efforts and accepted monitoring from international inspectors in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions.
Iran's latest provocation is further evidence that Trump's policy on Iran is turning into a disaster..."
OP, I question your reading comprehension skills as well as your apparent lack of understanding of world events. Iran NEVER stopped enriching uranium and it wasn't required to do so under the deal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_n...deal_framework
Seriously, I wonder why some choose to mislead in this forum

They agreed to severely limit their rate of enrichment.

True enough, the title should have read "Thanks to Trump's Stupidity, Iran is Now Moving Back Towards Enriching Weapons Grade Uranium". It would have been a more accurate title, if a bit long. It would also have made clear that Trump is an even bigger idiot than the original title said, so thanks.

Enriching to 20% is the technically challenging step.
Once you have that getting to 90+% is relatively easy, should you choose to do so.
But Iran has already mastered that step and has already enriched to that level in the past. This is merely turning on a switch.
Of course, I bring this up to only show how the OP was incorrect, both as to the original assertion and to the attempted clarification.
Quite frankly, while I am not particularly keen on Iran having nuclear weapons, this is more so out of my desire to have no nation have them vs. me not trusting Iran. Iran knows what its use of nukes (or the tracing back of the use to Iran) would mean for the country. And, love or hate them, Iran is not a suicidal nation.
