Is that a fact? I'm pretty sure Hitler would do the same but he was evil. Was USA evil at the time?

Hiroshima and Nagasaki were horrible, but were the alternatives any better? A mainland invasion of Japan would've kept the war dragging on and on, costing millions of American, Japanese, and possibly Russian (IIRC, they were gonna invade Japan but we nuked Japan before that happened) lives.

I can guarantee it, US firebombed Japanese cities, British firebombed Dresden, Russian's bombed pretty much everything. You telling me that the Russian's wouldn't have used a nuclear bomb against the Germans if they had one?

Besides if Hiroshima and Nagasaki hadn't happened, millions more people would have died in WW2 and it could have pushed into the very latter half of the 40's.

There are always alternatives. Murdering civilians is never they way to end a way-rather embarrassing way really. I never understood the part why drop two atomic bombs? You could have dropped one and if they still wouldn't surrender, dropped another one. They didn't have nukes anyway. Maybe just a revenge for PH, who knows.

There doesn't need to be a reason, we got to test the effects of atomic bombs on people... For free!

And they were Japs!

2 birds with 1 stone.

That's what they did, the Japanese government was warned to surrender and they didn't, first bomb was dropped and they still didn't surrender afterwards, the second bomb changed their minds.

I'm still against dropping nukes to be perfectly clear. Just saying why drop two at the same time when 1 could do the "job".

The Japanese didn't have much regard for civilians or POWs:

My belief is still the same: dropping nukes and killing civilians to end the war with Japs was a mistake. Lots of people are still suffering for it today. The only "positive" (if I can put it that way) thing is, it reminds us that nukes shouldn't be used again.

civilians? they were training their people to fight. even kids and old men. so, most of the "civilians" you speak of were actually like the national guard.

I always had an A in history so I don't really think I need any education. Those people were taught to DEFEND themselves, same was in Russia when Army Group centre pushed for Moscow and civilians were left undefended until reinforcements came, same in Germany for the battle of Berlin...
