If war broke out tomorrow....

[Fittisize]

What you're essentially saying is that dropping the bomb was the worst thing we could have done, but you can offer no plausable alternative to it.

Fighting the war without dropping the bomb would have indeed been a better alternative...the body count could have possibly (but not likely) rang up as high as the number killed in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but they wouldn't have been *innocents*. 500,000 deaths of soldiers who would die fighting for their country, or at least knowing that fighting could have very well brought about their demise, compared to 500,000 (or more? how many in total died from the a-bomb droppings?) innocent bystanders...
