Hell yeah! I'm tempted to see it happen again and put an end to all the fussin' and a feudin'.
It was used once well technically twice cause the Japanese thought it a trick.
It's been justified as a necessary evil to save lives.....
War Monger propaganda!!!!!
All sane people know it's insane to use these things......
Are you Japanese?Yeah, Doc.... Very insane - and the only greater insanity would have been the loss of life when Japan was invaded. Okinawa proved that.

Japan was weak and expendable at the time anyway. Just kicked 'em when they were down was all. God bless the usa.
Are you Japanese?
what happened in Okinawa...thats an island right?
How about in a city near you...? Or how about your own city?
No I'm not Japanese. In Okinawa, a last stepping stone to the mainland, Japanese military fought almost to the last man and the final bullet. Civilians committed suicide in the thousands by jumping off cliffs just to avoid capture by the "horned devils". American losses were in the thousands. Losses in taking Japan would have easily been in the tens of millions.

Was Pearl Harbor justifiable?
Sure! Now why would it need to be used on my city? Have negotiations failed?
The only place my city seeing as it's attached to my country is at war with is Afghanistan, and to put a finer point on it, the group called the Taliban that are in that area of the world.
Now then, they have through their guest bin Laden said they will use whatever they can to attack the US and countries including Canada. So it's already been established that nukes, dirty bombs, suicide bombers, truck bombs, plains trains and automobiles are on the table. So there isn't anything I can say to stop them from using a nuke on my city.
But if the answer to terrorism is that the place you want people out of or the county you base yourself out of is going to be so much vapor and radioactive dust, then perhaps when the grumbling starts in the back rooms and religious venues, enough people will slapping the jingoist war hawks around till they get their thinking right.
As it is no one has much of a problem with smart bombs that only target the bad guys and often cause the collateral damage that makes fodder for justifying terrorism.
Not to mention that if the only resort after diplomacy fails is a nuclear war, maybe we can keep the leash on our own little war mongering mad dogs.
so you are blaiming their ignorance on not realizing the actual freedom the USA was about to bring to these people on the USA....they jumped to their deaths because of why actually???
Look the USA with all it's warts is still the best damn system of freedom in the world....
Who said anything about blame? Propaganda told them Americans would enslave then and breed them for breafast sausage (figuratively speaking) Wouldn't you be a little afeared? It's Asian culture that one is not to be taken prisoner or your spirit is lost forever.

The question is simple enough.
Was the annihilation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki morally justifiable?
