Attacking civilians is truly a monstrous act. People who even try to say it was better that way, saved more lives by ending it faster, or any shit like that, just don't know how ridiculous small minded it is, and don't even grasp how unthinkable would be to be the ones in the other side of the bombs, innocent people died in lots and other lots suffered for years because of the radiation damage, it was probably the worst thing mankind has ever done to itself, and we are a really fucked up race that has war deep in it's genes. I feel truly sorry for that have ever happened, gladly the japanese is a very strong people and the survivors could stand back after it and keep living and fighting for the new days to come.

They weren't 100% civilian targets I've heard as much as 20% military, war was hell, the Japanese had commited many atrocities themselves during the war and they weren't surrendering. In places like Okinawa there were mass civilain suicides instead of surrendering, or suicide attacks.
Russia was going to be entering the war. Had there been an invation of Japan, Millions of civilians would probably have died, and had Japan been divided like Korea things would have been terrible for those under the soviets.
