I'm well aware that the Nuclear bombs probably saved lives in the end. But to argue the use of such a destructive weapon is moral is a bit silly. Remeber all I was saying is that it probably wasn't a great thing to do morally, I never said it wasn't justifiable.
Just the creation of such weapons was a tremendously "immoral" thing to do. Yes the war with Japan would have been bloodier. But if the Nuke wasn't invented we wouldn't have a way of nearly completely wiping out human life in an instant either. The chance of global nuclear war surely puts the weapon squarly within the "Immoral" camp (along with its inventors). As I said in my earlier post, I'm arguing that in the end both sides did horrible things. Its not like the allies were the shining examples history tries to make them out to be in many cases.
Of course the point that the use of Nukes in Japan deterred countries from using them again is a very good one.
