Derek--- The casualties incurred in taking Okinawa were horrendous, and drove the decision to drop nuclear weapons. The decision to drop the weapons on populated areas reflected not only a concern about Japanese fanaticism, but the real question of whether or not we could supply further bombs if a demonstration didn't break their will. And it still took two bombings to gain capitulation!

<<,The bomb saved lives, period.>>>

There you humanitarians go again---

You sound like Allbright when questioned about a cost of 50,000 Iraqi kid's lives--- She said something to the effect "that it was a terrible price but we think it was worth it"....or Bush when questioned about killing most of the people in a hotel to get at Noriega-- His answer was the same as Allbrights--"awfull price but one we think was well worth it"
