Both were necessary in ending the world, and neither nuclear bomb had a long term effect on those cities. People still live there with little affect to their lives, but radiation levels in the chernobyl are still far too high for any civilization to return for a long time (even if its no longer close to deadly). |
WTF? without getting into a political debate NEITHER were necessary as the result was already decided, they just sped up the process. The second bomb definitely wasn't necessary as Japan was already at the negotiating table for terms of surrender at that stage just they were still demanding their political structure stay in place. The effects of those two bombs are still there today, they killed hundreds and thousands of innocent civilians. People in those cities are still suffering inflated rates of cancer and other health side effects of radiation poisoning to this day. So while these cities may not be radioactive today some 70 years later the effects are still being felt. If this was done by any other country it would have been listed as a war crime for targetting civilians.
