bombings on japan, were the really needed Options

[Mr. Psychotic]

do u guys think the 2 bombs dropped on japan during WW2 were really needed?
i say no because they just killed innoc3nt people in those 2 citys and it left a perment mental damage on my grandma (im japanese)
so what do u guys think

[EmeraldKnight]

most agree the bomb was necessary. the first one.

the second one was needed to show that we had the capibilities to do it again.

EXAMPLE:

senario 1.
say that al quida detonates a dirty bomb in a major city.

we clean up the mess, beef up security, start blaming people.

senario 2.
say that al quida detonates a dirty bomb in a major city.

we clean up the mess, beef up security, start blaming people.

then two days later they hit another major city. now everyone's worried. where will they strike next?


the psycology of getting hit once when you're not expecting it,

and then getting hit again with all your defenses up, but harder,
that's what got the surrender.

Um.. you spelt "scenario" wrong both times same with "quaeda"

but see.. the diff is that they have to somehow sneak their way in and we can stop them with security measures.. the Japanese had little chance to stop the two bombs. they didnt have any chance to rebuild any defenses of sorts after the first bomb was dropped
