Hiroshima and Nagasaki

With the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the U.S. DIRECTLY targeted civilians.  They also directly targeted civilians with the firebombing of Tokyo and Dresden.  The Japanese and German GOVERNMENTS committed many atrocities, but that in no way makes it moral or right for the U.S. to murder civilians in those countries.

You can make all the arguments you want about how murdering these civilians brought an early end to the war.  This does not change the fact that civilian men, women, and children were murdered.  When other people do this, we call them terrorists.  That label applies equally here.

100,000 civilians were killed to end a war that had already killed 500 times that number of people. It's a clear cut moral decision, and it was a great and courageous thing to carry it out.

The Japs were the one who attacked the US and they started the war for empire. They were some of the most vile war criminals ever and certainly had no regard for the civilians they raped and butchered, or the prisoners of war they ate alive in New Guinea and the Philipines.
