was a was't of equipment It is no question that the bomb did its job but perhaps it worked a little too well. It took Hiroshima 4 years to rebuild the city and it took Nagasaki five years to rebuild. The bombs killed approximated 70,000 innocent women, children, and men. After the cities rebuilt the children were being born with deformities. This country is not about making children be born with two heads or being killed at birth. Posted By: Anonymous Obviously this was not justified. How does the killing of over 300,000 INNOCENT CIVILIANS justify anything? Besides, Japan was already about to surrender, DO SOME RESEARCH PEOPLE!! All this about millions would die to take Japan is absolute nonsense. They were already about to surrender and the bomb did not help at all. The bombing also breaks one of the most important rules of war. You cannot kill civilians. Even if they killed civilians(which they didn't) we shouldn't stoop to their level. The bombs also had many side effects, the radiation for one is killing people that are in a different generation!! People that had nothing to do with the war. Is it right that we should kill innocent people who weren't even alive during the war?!!? NO! Why punish the people for something that their government did? If Obama declared war on China would that make it our fault? So in conclusion it's clear that the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was a cruel display of murder. Unjustified
