Comments on: Hiroshima bombing: Was it necessary? http://www.wrongways.com/hiroshima-bombing-was-it-necessary Tue, 06 Jan 2009 05:43:20 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Reigha http://www.wrongways.com/hiroshima-bombing-was-it-necessary#comment-46691 Reigha Thu, 21 Feb 2008 00:13:50 +0000 http://www.wrongways.com/?p=30#comment-46691 I agree. The bombings were not necessary. I am in my junior year of high school and we are "trying" President Truman for war crimes and unjustly dropping them. It's a research project basically.. Anyway, on other sites and sources I have come across, I learned that despite what the Japanese Cabinet had already said ( war until the end) The emperor and his adviser were convincing the Cabinet to withdraw and went to Russia to act as a mediator between them and the USA to end the war. However, Russia was still pissed and wanted their territories back, so they held off, and delayed negotiations. That's when the bombings happened. Within days of when the peace negotiations were supposed to occur. That was a point of interest. And thanks for the article! It helped! I agree. The bombings were not necessary.

If the U.S is saying that they would have surrendered any ways why did we still continue on with mass destruction. It was a waste of innocent lives. They basically killed people for no reason because "they would have surrendered any ways" UM no not necasarry… If the U.S is saying that they would have surrendered any ways why did we still continue on with mass destruction.

The only reason it was dropped was to show the Russians that America is stronger. It was another extreme example of America's appetite for war and brutality. Just think if the shoe had been on the other foot. There is constant propaganda about German attrocities of the holocaust. But because this act which was far more horrifying was caused by Americans is intentionally not publicized. The American answer for this grievous war crime is that they ended the war and saved lives. Tell that to 140,000 mostly women, children, and civilian men. A weak excuse. Here is something all Americans should seriously think about. Acts like these have made them the worst criminals in history and if they believe in the afterlife then they better worry about what will happen to them after the die. The devil has been sharpening his teeth in anticipation for their arrival. The Japanese were pretty much beaten before the bomb was dropped.

The scientists knew radiation was deadly, but they had to test for themselves. I dont agree in the production of nuclear weapons or using nuclear energy. there was no need to drop another atomic bomb on Nagasaki as enough lives had been lost in Hiroshima.

But it aint our fault. its the japanese military's fault. they have obviously no concern for the civilians of japan. The city was being used like a military base and had to be dropped in order to finish the war. was it really necessary to wait longer and have more of our men killed? Theres only one thing that really make me think and i dont know for sure. did we at least warn them we were coming. I know its just an air raid but still. yes it was. sure japanese civilians did not deserve it.
