‘US government documents admit that the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was not necessary to end WWII. Japan was on the verge of surrendering. The nuclear attack was the first strike in Washington's Cold War on the Soviet Union. Ben Norton reviews the historical record.’

And what of the Japanese civilians? Are their lives automatically forfeit because they had the gall to be born in the bad guy country?

Do not justify atrocities with other atrocities. And do not ignore the bulk of another person's argument to pretend they had no argument. You just look like an idiot when you do that.
