National Geographic posted five pictures worth looking at.
This third picture:
Hiroshima, Japan, August 6, 2009--A woman prays after releasing a paper
lantern into the Motoyasu River on the 64th anniversary of the world's
first atomic bomb attack (August 6, 1945.)
I am no more convinced we needed to bomb Japan any more than we needed to bomb North Vietnam. Waging war against civillian populations, including merchant shipping, should be a major international war crime. The civillians, in the tyrannies at least, did not sign up for the fight and should not be subject to the terrors of WAR.

Well, I agree...war is hell. None of these things should happen. But we do not live in a utopian society, so reality itself dictates that these things must happen....get over it, and get with the program. And the program reads, quite simply, better them than us.
And all the pontificating in the world wont change that reality....

I bet you'd change your mind if you were on a boat to Japan, and your leaders said, if we drop this bomb on Japan, you wont have to go in and probably die.
War with Japan in 1945 was alot different time than now sitting comfortably behind a computer.
