Re: Damn Those Pesky Muslims!

i was aware of the Tokyo firebombing killing more.

Bombing on a NK city in the Korean war killed more than those combined i think.

I am actually glad the US nuked japan. here is my reasoning.

whether or not it was needed to force japan to surrender is debatable. I do not believe it was as Japan was already trying to negotiate peace through the Soviet's as America had declined peace talks. HOWEVER, had the US not used nukes at that time it may not have scared the crap out of people enough to avoid using them in the future. Rather than seeing the grid-lock of the cold war we may have, and i believe would have, seen nuclear weapons used in a major conflict. (read WW III) and ultimately this would have been very bad for a lot more people than those who lost their lives in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

just my opinion, but hopefully you see the logic.
