| mai said: Hmm, people still trying to justify bombing of Japan. Among many things that testify against any military necessity of attacks is a similar operation six months prior to that - bombing of Dresden. Come to think of it, the whole allied European campaign doesn't look like much of military necessity. So it goes. |
Dresden was a completely different story, though yeah, the firebombing of Dresden was completely pointless.
The Nuclear bombs however... saved lives.
The fact that the pro peace side of japan saw the nukes as a "Gift sent from the heavens" I think pretty much sums up why it was needed.
The truth is, the bombings of japan don't need to be justified because the overwhelming amount of evidence that already justifies it. If you can't believe the people bombed by it, who were trying to convince the other side to agree to surrender... what would convince you?
