The dropping of the first Atomic bomb was justifyed.

That is, I mean the atomic bomb dropped by America on Jpaan after Pearl harbour. Remember, it ended the war and Hilter was on teh verge of discovering atomic bombs. How messed up the world woul be if Hilter got Nuclear weapons. Also, America siad there was no such thing as radiation siclness afterwards... DISCUSS!

The first one was needed to end the war before even more people were killed; the second one they dropped, however, was completely unjustified.

This side looked lonely, so...

Sure, why not? The Japanese had no intentions of surrendering. Moreover, a full scale invasion would likely have cost more lives than the first bomb.

The second, I'm not so sure. They didn't give the Japanese adequate time to respond.

Dropping the atomic was really wrong because hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians died because America could not wait for a response of surrender from the Japanese.

Until the first bomb, there was going to be no surrender. The Japanese would never have surrendered, and the US would have been forced into a full scale invasion, most likely with Britain as well, costing millions of lives.

Yes it is wrong. But i do understand the reasoning behind it. This war depended upon life or death of who civilizations. Even though I am not a fan of war nor nuclear weapons it, can help defend us. The negatives is that generations to come suffer from mutated gene diseases.

Thousands of people die every day. The real crime was the fact that people were killed.

radiation of some substances can exist for hundred thousands of years, so the place where it was dropped is still full of radioactive waste. no one can live there or even pass through this place, as a result it will never be justified.

Side: NO WAY YOU FREAK!!!!

There are even some suggestions that the US was testing the Nuke. Children are still being mutated.

No...it is never acceptable to kill civilians as an act of war...To say dropping that bomb was justified, would be to say, that the mass murder the North Vietnamies committed against civilians during the Vietnam war was justified.

...IT IS NEVER ACCEPTABLE TO KILL CIVILIANS AS AN ACT OF WAR!

It can not be justified, because the atomic bomb took the lives of millions of people, many have lost their parents, their children and relatives. Radiation resulting from the bombing even be passed on next generations. Thousands of people died from radiation sickness and other genetic mutations.

Side: NO WAY YOU FREAK!!!!

Thousands upon thousands of women and children were killed during those two atomic blasts. It was an atrocity!
