In Hiroshima, the event was like something from a horror story, and in America there was relief. War is sad because on both sides people suffer a lot.

It would probably have been unwise to do something that could make them more angry than they already would have been, like what happened after World War 1 when Germany was solely blamed for the war. (Not that the bombing wasn't cruel in the first place) Thu, 25 Aug 2022 01:25:47 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/321827?scroll_to=2867744 https://nowcomment.com/documents/321827?scroll_to=2867744 First, the U.S. had to decide whether to use conventional bombing or the atomic bomb. When conventional bombing didn't work(and there were many casualties), they had to decide where to use the atomic bomb and calculate the amount of influence it would have on the Japanese. The layers of complexity are more than just one decision. Thu, 25 Aug 2022 01:13:04 -0400
