Re: Atomic Bomb: Good or Bad?

I don't think trading lives of some people for others is very justifiable so no I don't agree with the atomic bomb..

Re: Atomic Bomb: Good or Bad?

The Atom Bomb was never right to use as those were innocent lives lost. Soldiers died because they expected to die for their country. But it is because the US that families who survived the attack now suffer and their relatives, descendants suffer the after effects. Had it been on a militiary base, we might have accepted it because it was on soldiers.

Re: Atomic Bomb: Good or Bad?

Ok lets look at this myself and some other person has a fight and it is going to last a long time because neither him nor me is willing to admit defeat now do i kick him in the Crown jules and walk away the victor or do i keep on fighting.
The crown jules is my target and that is the same that Truman thought and he walk away the victor right and out of that alot of good things spread forth Yes alot of inocent ppl died but there is always inocent ppl that dies doesn't matter what the war is all about.

So yeah a person in charge of a country has make a decision and that is what was chosen.Quick ending.

Re: Atomic Bomb: Good or Bad?

i think it a bad thing because the atomic bomb killed thousands of people in world war 2, but i stopped the world war and USA won for the atomic bomb.

Next time USA shouldn't use the atomic bomb, but it's a waste of money and it takes a long time to make.

Re: Atomic Bomb: Good or Bad?

It was a good thing, it ended the war quicker and less Japanese were lost in any given atomic bomb drop than were lost in our firebombings. When we firebombed Tokyo over 100,000 people were baked to death in under three hours.

Also, had the war gone on any further, many of the people who had fought for nearly 2 years in Europe and thought they were about to go home would have been shipped to Japan to fight more, it would have been horrid for them all.

Because it's not like any of the people that were killed by the bomb in Japan felt that way. Isn't that kind of a selfish thing to say? That's like saying that your life is more important than their's.

What about all the women and children who weren't even part of the fighting? Why is it right that they died? Just like the war in Iraq in today's current events. There are people that agree with it, and people that don't. How do you make a bomb that can tell the difference between the 2, and doll out death to only the people that want to fight? Why should innocent people have to die because some people want to fight?

Re: Atomic Bomb: Good or Bad?

my teacher told me that harry s truman decided to use the bomb because it would reduce the lose of american lives. He said that our lives were more important in the sense. I was enraged was my teacher telling me that because we were americans our lives meant more! I asked him and he paused....knowing i loved japan....a tear came to his eye and all he said was, i guess so. Then my class mate piped up with, "Ya those japs, they deserved it" I turned to him and said, " was it the same in the holocaust that the germans felt they were better and their lives were more important? Are you saying we are no better than the nazis?" The room at this point was very silent......One japanese girl in my class had been crying and she stood up and apuladed. I guess this is the kind of thing you face when in the midwest....so close minded

See, not only do you have good stories to prove your points, but you're a better person than me, too! You managed to come up with a verbal example! I would have just smacked the guy.

Seriously though, kudos for what you did.

Re: Atomic Bomb: Good or Bad?

I feel that atomic weapons are horrable devices, but I do happen to support their use in the war. They helped to bring a war to its conclusion. I don't think it's a issue of what's right or wrong. There was the real possibility that more japanese lives could've been lost in a ground campaign than were lost due to the bombs. War is not about trying not to hurt peoples feeling. It's about doing what needs to be done to assure victory. Was it a good thing that they may have saved more lives than a ground war? No, of course not. I'm not looking to put this back on the japanese, but didn't they start it in the first place? I know that sounds sorta mean and narrow minded, but it is what it is. Politics aside these weapons suck as did their usage. I'm not trying to excuse its use, just trying to explain it. After all, Is there really any good excuse for war?
