It was not a terror bombing. Every person in Japan was a combatant and would have fought against an invading force. Okinowa shows that. The culture of Japan had what percent of population who believed their emperor was god.

Japan in WW II was way beyond Islam and the very small percentage who are of the kamikaze mind.

Japan declared War on the US. Common knowledge was all citizens would die fighting before surrender.

The UN declared war on no one. The people of Hiroshima were one with their emperor and had declared war and would make war. Those in the UN were working to help Iraqis.

There is no question to any logical person that the use of the atomic bomb was the most moral path.

The context of the reality make meanings clear. Those with no spacial comprehension cannot visualize the obvious connections.

It's called Total War. And, believe me, if you're in its path it's terrorism no matter who's bringing it to you.

I think it was tougher to justify the second bomb.
