You should not bring up the nuclear bombings of Japan, since they saved more lives then they killed.

Thank you, I'm perfectly aware of what official historiography thinks about it, and consider this a typical "common place" that everybody think it is, while it's not (e.g. Napoleon was short). I beleive if not due to the nuclear deterrence there could have been other nuclear bombings, which would be postfactum and hypocritically explained somehow as a good thing. Anyway the subject was discussed already here, on VGC.

@MrBubbles, who would have thought? Well, that was my assumption. Probably, Canadian, as if it makes a lot of difference for me :D
