We can argue about that later:  none of those quotes IN ANY WAY addresses the claim that I issued my "challenge" on.  In case you didn't pay attention: 

"the reason that is cited by some back then is that the US wanted to see what a Atom bomb could do to a city full of people, in retrospect it was the World's worst war crime in modern history"

"I challenge you to provide solid evidence for your claim that a major motivating factor for dropping the bombs on cities instead of for target practice was just to see what they did to people."

Should I assume that you are abandoning this claim? 

P.S.  Worse than the Nazi "Final Solution", really? 

Your naive to think that some people in the establishment didn't want to see the consequences of an Atom Bomb, they had used great resources in developing these weapons, there was still the military consideration of what the damage could do, scientific curiosity, they had fully resourced teams ready to go to investigate those consequences once it was clear to go,  I have seen some time ago a Documentary on that subject, but I can't recall who did the the doco, sorry

What needs to be done is investigate the degree in which people were responsible for the war crime, how involved they were, how much influence they had, unfortunately the internet wont proved until a full scale 3rd party investigation is completed  

Also most of my first post included other points which you have ignored, but to be honest I can't be bothered to "argue" as I see your actively defending the US here, so I'll gracefully, or not move on ;)    

OK, it's your right to quit the debate, but I want to make sure you understand that my postscript was not a rhetorical question.  You said that dropping the A-bomb was the worst war crime in modern history, which includes the Nazi genocide program and for that matter the Rape of Nanking.  Do you stand by that?  I guess you don't have to defend it but I think you should at least clarify "yeah that's my position, goodbye".

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
