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!!!!

What you are saying is that when someone murders someone we should murder his daughter?

Yeah sorry I am confused...

You can't compare a country of 100 million people to a single man. The country does something, you punish the country. But again, the atomic bombs weren't punishment; war is war. The atomic bombs were a means of forcing Japan to surrender. Not ideal, but the best America could have done, given the circumstances. Do remember that they had no idea what this bomb did, except cause a massive explosion. Which is why they never used it again.

it doesnt matter if you kill person or 100 thounds, you would still be a murderer. just 1 life is unique and irreplaceable

Also, punishing a country is stupid because thousands of those people are innocent (possibly even voting/protesting being against the government that is making the war). Countries should not punishable as they are just a concept made of millions of human actions which are not unified, but contrary and manifold. I am not responsible for the British entry into Iraq, but some people would punish me (as part of the country) for it. These are stupid people.
