Horrifying. And the US is trying to police the rest of the world about them having nuclear weapons? How dare they.

@athlon866

Interesting thought.

Do you know how much $ the U.S owes Japan? Do you really think a country in which you are in a huge amount of debt to is going to apologize for any wrong doing?

Just curious...

Was the Nagasaki bomb really necessary???

Is a 3 day wait long enough. Was there any real attempt to

secure the surrender prior to dropping bomb 2.

I personally don't know the history of the negotiations but I would have

thought it could have been pushed further over a longer period.

But then I am not experiencing the horrors of war.

My grandfather was being trained as a paratrooper for the invasion of the Japanese home islands. The bombs may well have saved his life. He wound up stationed in Japan after the war and saw Hiroshima and the devastation. In the time I knew him he was always very anti-war and anti-violence. Technically Japan definitely started that war. When you realize however that Its really the bankers and Industrialists that start wars then you realize there is no righteous side even in that war.

@zio5q Thats not called for. Their government may not be so great, but could you imagine having to live under that sort of corruption, it's not the people, it's the system. A system run by money, an inanimate object with no conscience or soul, and we entrust our governing to it. Letting the market run thing's with very little regulation. Money is the EVIL one.

[zio5q]

Americans are truly evil beings.

[MastroCicio]

USA and especially Russia has committed as many war crimes as the Germans ... the winners write history.

[ttcontain]

@rightsideofhistory Nonsense, They where used cause they spend a ludicrous amount of money and man power developing a weapon (Something that has been done throughout history) and the Japanese where not gonna surrender and cause of those two bombs, millions of american's where saved by a war that was started by the Japanese .

[rightsideofhistory]

@ttcontain And the two bombs that stopped the war were ONLY used because America knew that none were going to used by Japan back on America - because they didn't have any. It's a different world today. When both sides have the big sticks, they essentially nullify each other. So it's back to tanks & bullets. If one is used ever again, it will be a 2-way launch. Will America be willing to have one land in NYC in order to launch ? I don't think so.

Towards the end of the cold war a Tzar bomb was so devastating it shattered glass windows from hundreds of miles away. If such weapons were ever used it would be the end of everyone. We've proven they are no good against meteors and asteroids. So why are we keeping them?
