That's absurd, stop justifying the homocide of THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND CIVILIANS!! CIVILIANS, I tell you -THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND of them!! As far as the old we asked them to surrender twice goes, anyone who knows the history knows that even that is a load of absolute shit! The US demanded surrender and then dropped the first bomb on Hiroshima without out allowing the Japanese any time to respond. Then, within less than 3 days, before the Japanese officials could go assess the situation in Hiroshima and decide whether or not surrender was a viable option, the US dropped a second bomb on Nagasaki. On August 6th Hiroshima's civilian population was slaughtered like disposable meat, by August 9th Nagasaki fell victim to the same fate. Worst of all, even conservative historians said that there was no longer any threat left from the Japanese, even before the first bomb was dropped. Its funny how you will blindly hail the slaughter of others when it is in defense of your own feeble patriotism.

What you forget is that the US justification for entering the war, whether true or not, was definitely on humanitarian grounds. Thus, on humanitarian grounds the last thing you want is the blood of 300,000 civilians on your hands and countless other miserable lives born into the radioactive waste the American left behind. Not even the Nazis were claiming that the slaughter of millions of Jews, Communists, Gypsies, etc was on humanitarian grounds. Shame on you, you apologist for crimes against humanity!
