I just can't see why some people glorify war, although in this instance I would say these bombings were necessary. Although two cities full of people were completely wiped out in cold blood and thus a war crime the loss of life in taking Japan would have been much much more. In a war of survival not of our making such actions are sometimes necessary as was the fire bombing of Dresden in Europe although a civilian target was important in providing important infrastructure to the Germans. Perhaps people who make these wars possible, the state sponsored terrorists who kick off these events should start to question orders from their leaders before committing the world to such madness.
