221. What is the point
of justifying one atrocity with another? It doesn't make the bomb blast any less damaging. The civilians of Hiroshima and Nagasaki did not commit the acts you refer to. They did not start the war, nor did they refuse to surrender. They were just living their lives. You can justify it all you want from a strategic standpoint, but it does not negate the fact that innocent men, women, and children were executed on a massive scale by the US government.
