Well. Number 10.
I'm in the middle with this one. On one side I do believe that the Japanese would not surrender had it not been bombed. Guerrilla warfare would ensue and the prolonged battle would just be more detrimental than ever.
This is why I hate it when someone tries to pain themselves white. It never is black and white with the world. Moreso is the fairy tale that we need to fill this world with "good" because if that happened it would definitely tip the balance. Conflict will always be there. The rule of thumb is that we just don't need to cause unnecessary suffering.
The agenda of spreading peace is great, however a person should not drown in the fantasy of a eutopia.
