A little late to think about that, Oppie -- you great, big genius boobie.On this day in 1945 the United States demonstrated that it was as morally bankrupt as the Nazi machine it had recently vanquished and the Soviet regime with which it was allied. Over Hiroshima, and three days later over Nagasaki, it exploded an atomic device that was the most efficient weapon of genocide in human history. The blast killed tens of thousands of men, women and children. It was an act of mass annihilation that was strategically and militarily indefensible. The Japanese had been on the verge of surrender. Hiroshima and Nagasaki had no military significance. It was a war crime for which no one was ever tried....
"What are we to make of a civilization which has always regarded ethics as an essential part of human life [but] which has not been able to talk about the prospect of killing almost everyone except in prudential and game-theoretical terms?" Oppenheimer asked after World War II.
emphases addedA rational world, a world that will protect the ecosystem and build economies that learn to distribute wealth rather than allow a rapacious elite to hoard it, will never be handed to us by the scientists and technicians. Nearly all of them work for the enemy.
All attempts to control the universe, to play God, to become the arbiters of life and death, have been carried out by moral idiots. They will relentlessly push forward, exploiting and pillaging, perfecting their terrible tools of technology and science, until their creation destroys them and us.

Viruses designed to deliberately target a specific group/clan of people; for instance all Australian aborigines, the Amish, or any other specific group/clan; would be a genocidal weapon.

emphases addedThe question of military necessity can be quickly put to rest. "Japan was already defeated and dropping the bomb was completely unnecessary." Those are not the words of a latter-day revisionist historian....They are the words of Dwight D. Eisenhower, Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Europe and future president of the United States.
Eisenhower knew, as did the entire senior U.S. officer corps, that by mid 1945 Japan was defenseless....
As a result of the naked futility of their position, the Japanese had approached the Russians, seeking their help in brokering a peace to end the War. The U.S. had long before broken the Japanese codes and knew that these negotiations were under way, knew that the Japanese had for months been trying to find a way to surrender....
...the virtually unanimous and combined judgment of the most informed, senior, officers of the U.S. military is unequivocal: there was no pressing military necessity for dropping the atomic bombs on Japan.
please read some history'

Yet another load of horse poo. The two bombs saved well over one million Japanese civilian lives. This is well known. Only historical revisionists, and unethical people, like you, ignore the very well known history.

Do you just quote other people or can you form your own opinion on things.
And hindsight is always 20/20, what Truman saw (and I am not a fan of Truman in general) was a country ready to go down fighting and willing to take as many GI's, Sailors, and Marines with them as possible.
