    There were those opposed, chum. They were overridden by concerns that the U.S. and Australian soldiers would retaliate for the vicious nature of the occupations by the Japanese in China, SE Asia, Phillipines, etc.

    Let me educate you.
    When the Japanese captured Nanjing, they put about 300K people on their knees and shot them in the head or cut them off. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/4439923.st m
    Consider the Bataan Death March. 10K prisoners died in inhumane treatment. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bataan_Death_March

    Now -- Nagasaki. 150K dead. http://www.csi.ad.jp/suzuhari-es/1000cranes/nagasa ki/index.html
    Now -- Hiroshima. 66K dead. http://www.atomicarchive.com/Docs/MED/med_chp10.sh tml

    You should note that the Nanjing massacre outweighs both bombs combined. No nukes involved, only bullets and swords.

    The Allied troops wanted blood and lots of it. Were we to have had to land on the Japanese coast, the Japanese had women, children and old people trained and armed (albeit poorly) to send against them. The estimates of casualties were in the many hundreds of thousands. Far less than those produced by the two bombs.

    Why are nukes such a big deal?

    I'm hoping that you're kidding, but in case you're not...

    > Nazi Germany gave us advances in physics (via rocketry) and mathematics (encryption).
    I think more advances in mathematics were due to decryption (the field in which a little know guy by the name of Alan Turing really made his mark on the war). But I guess you could argue quite reasonably that it was a consequence of encryption.
    Oh, and don't forget the advances in weapons of mass destruction.

  7. It's not morbid by phillymjs · · Score: 1 · on First-Person Account Of Today's Attacks

    Doesn't seem morbid, one of the few surviving buildings in Hiroshima became a big part of their memorial to the atomic bombing victims.

    Perhaps they could do something like that at the WTC, like a Wailing Wall of sorts... maybe polish the still-standing steel and then engrave the names of the dead on it....

    You can be certain of one thing-- there are already people working on designs for the memorial.
