Well, if you want justification in the dropping of the bombs, it exists.

The Japanese didn't just attack the military bases in Pearl Harbor, they killed over 150 civilians in Honolulu as well (from improperly fused shells).

I find it quite the double-standard to say "It's okay, you killed 150 innocent people in Honolulu, we'll take our licks and let that one slide."

Like uninspiredfae said, it's a war, not a game. Japan didn't follow the rules, we didn't either.

Nope! I guess they just wanted it to feel more dominant. Besides, they wasted money.

We didn't waste money by dropping the bombs, because dropping them was actually economically sound. We utilized what we spent so much money towards. Bombs are built and recreated everyday, but when they sit around for 50 years and become inactive, we scrap them for the metal, or they become an underground tourist site like the one I visited in Colorado. The missile I saw was 65 years old, and is still pointed at Russia, but it won't work anymore.

Like it or not, the United States' existence relies on enforcing our clout.

Japan attacks us and kills 2,400+ people, injuring over 1,000, we retaliate with 50 times the force.

Also, belive it or not, dropping the bomb was for the good of the Japanese people. At that time they were just as tenacious as the Americans (perhaps more) and would have fought down to the last man (regardless of Germany's defeat), spelling the demise for that country in the future.

After we dropped the bomb we were able to go in and help to rebuild the economy of Japan, giving them a real position in the world. One they hold to this day, and one they never would have had if they had kept fighting after Germany went down.

a. it saved hundreds of thousands of US soldiers that would've died in a land invastion (millions of Japanese died in their place..)

I think you exaggerate the numbers when you say millions of Japanese died...

I still say its a bit extreme

Yeah, well extremity is what our country depends upon.
