World war 2

[Wootzeh]

Just wondering about it today, do you think it was right for America to of used the A-bombs? Killed alot of people, but helped to end the war :S
your views?

What the Japanese did during WW2 was barbaric, cruel and disgusting. They deserved both of the atomic bombings.

Well, in some ways it could have saved lives. If those bombs weren't dropped, the world could still be at war now. But I do wonder if the Americans would have produced them if they had any idea how much controvercy and danger they would create they would cause in recent years.

It wasn't the children and women they dropped the bombs on who were fighting in the war though.

I reckon that it was the best way to end the war. My opinion anyway , we've seen the consequences and hopefully we won't have to see them again.

That's correct but they where killing other innocent children and women around the world so it's a no win situation, lots of innocent people would of died whether the bomb was dropped or not.

I feel the bomb was a clause that helped the end of WWII but it was a difficult situation and people died no matter what happened, it's a no win situation that gets criticised whatever the outcome.

To above poster, I agree, no one would of known how bad atomic bombs really where with out the evidence, there was Science saying they would cause mass destruction but you'd need to see for yourself. If that didn't go off, perhaps countries like Israel would of set them off today and not realise how devastating they can really be.

The Japanese were about to surrender anyway, was just a big excuse to show their power. Was the best idea imo, scared off many countries with technology advances. Hitler tried to make the atom bomb, but Americans had it ready early I think.

I agree, but this was a war. Just how the Germans bombed Britain whose women and children weren't fighting, the Americans did the same to the Japanese. On a much larger scale, but the same principle was behind both attacks; too take down the opposing country.

[Excellent]

The a-bomb dropping was right.. We could still be at war today. The japs more than deserved what they got.

[Plux]

Yes, only one was needed though...

And, now this has happened, we are at threat of World War 3.
