I kind of see what you're trying to say. In WW2, Japan was "the enemy"...they sided with the Nazis and pretty much caused a lot of pain and suffering in the Pacific and Asia. They attacked America first, occupied Chinese land and enslaved their people, and killed innocents.

You're right about the purpose of the bomb. What the U.S. did was an act of war and it created a weapon that would give them an advantage in said war. But that weapon worked too well and over 150,000 people lost their lives along with 300,000 people still suffering from the aftereffects of radiation from that weapon. Japanese-Americans who have no connection with the Axis saw their families and relatives from both Hiroshima and Nagasaki killed. As we speak, there are people who have developed cancer and all types of serious ailments because of the bomb.

I understand that to some, there are no apologies when it comes to war. But innocents were caught in the crossfire of that war...and the rammafications and aftereffects of that weapon are still felt to this day.
