If war broke out tomorrow....

[Fittisize]

As far as Japan goes, no point second-guessing what we did. Japan might have surrendered without the bomb, but they certainly DID with it. Therefore, it was the right thing to do.

Ah yes, of course the quickest and easiest way out of winning the war is the right thing to do. It doesn't matter how many innocent lives were lost and how many others continued to die from radiation afterwards...the point is that we Americans won the war. "USA: We'll find the quickest way and easiest way to get to anything! Damn the consequences!"

Nor do I feel a bit of guilt over their civilians. First, they started that war. Second, they'd have done worse to us if given the chance.

Right...so because you think that all the Japanese would do much worse, all those innocent lives deserved to go. You're probably right that every single civilian was an evil Hitler-lover and hated everything USA. But then again, you're not.
