The dropping of the first and only aggressive atomic bombs was a consequence of global ignorance, and a desire for new forms of meaning. To some degree we learned our lesson. If there is a major problem it is environmental. Not enough people take the environmental harms of nuclear weapons seriously.No, even killing a militant isn't justified. Though this is the cost of war, and war should be avoid at all cost. Is it (ever) acceptable to target / kill civilians in war? First, the Japanese were ready to surrender and it wasn't necessary to hit them with that awful thing.

Second, why drop bomb on town full of civilians if you can drop bomb on the military positions? The whole argument about preventing any future deaths of Americans seems like rhetoric, because it is not Japanese civilians who were killing American soldiers, it s Japanese army. United States have used it in order to shorten the agony of war, in order to save the lives of thousands and thousands of young Americans. Was the US justified in dropping the atomic bomb on Japan?
