I support the use of nuclear weapions in this exact situation.
I do not support the use of nuclear weapons in this situation.
Sounds great to say that now doesnt it? When I personally look back on history, I support (is there really any reason to support something that already happened?) the use of Nuclear weapons in their exact situation. Japan would be a MUCH different place today had we not dropped those bombs and I personally love the Japan of Today.
And a side note. Many scholars believe we dropped the nuke for 2 primary reasons.
1) To SAVE lives (think of how many innocent/army lives would be lost on both sides if we had to take those islands inch by inch) and
2) To halt the ambitions of the USSR in mainland Europe. Once the Russian warmachine started, we (the allies) were worried they might not stop it once they met us (the allies) in the middle. Seeing the nuke and the devastation it caused would have surely deterred the Red Army from making any rash decisions.
