>The nuking of Japan was a very very special case. The war was already over, but the Japanese refused to stop fighting. There was a feeling that the Japanese would continue fighting for many years to come with countless more lives lost. The U.S. made the decision that only something very large and shocking would get them to end it once and for all. Thus, Nagasaki and Hiroshima. We bombed Nagasaki and Hiroshima because we wanted to scare the bejeezus out of the Soviets. We could've blockaded Japan and ended the war. They were done. -Z

The nuking of Japan was a very very special case. The war was already over, but the Japanese refused to stop fighting. There was a feeling that the Japanese would continue fighting for many years to come with countless more lives lost. The U.S. made the decision that only something very large and shocking would get them to end it once and for all. Thus, Nagasaki and Hiroshima. That's your explanation for why we killed hundreds of thousands of people in two days? And you say the Muslims are violent. Talk about your proverbial double standard.
