Getaway, I did not justify the nuking of Japan. What I stated are facts of what happened. As I said previously, nobody, not even the US expected the aftermath of the atomic bomb which makes it so terrible that no one with nuclear weapons despite having huge arsenals of it, have used it so far. That is why the horror of using WMD or building one with intent to use it is to be deplored. Until the atomic bombing of Japan, anyone uttered a peep about WMDs as we know it now? If they did, please cite your source. What happened in the past happened. How they felt about it, they felt about it, which is why they did what they did. You cannot change history to suit your benefit of hindsight and the political sentiments today.
