The Japanese slaughtered more than enough people to warrant those nukes

but the majority of the dead of the A bomb were civilians not japanese soldiers.

So were the majority of the hundreds of thousands Chinese men, women and children murdered and raped by Japanese soldiers... be under no illusion...  the Japanese were blood thirsty lunatics in the run up to and during world war 2.

Dont check out the above site if squeemish!!!!

This doesn't prove anything, yes they did horrible things but that doesn't mean America should have done that as well. This is about if it was justified means to end a war. I believe it was but not because Japanese soldiers raped, murdered and tortured many, but because I believe it saved lot's of lifes in the end.

many?  hundreds of thousands in the most horrific circumstances imaginable.

And it proves one thing... they would have fought to the death and slaughtered as many as possible on the way.

 

Ok I will give you that one, still it shouldn't have been brought in to this conversation imo. I mean it's not like we don't know about kamikaze and the attitude of Japanese soldiers in World War Two.

It's not a mud slinging contest.
