play a major role in the Manhattan Project, argued: "If the Germans had dropped
atomic bombs on cities instead of us, we would have defined the dropping of atomic
bombs on cities as a war crime, and we would have sentenced the Germans who were
guilty of this crime to death at Nuremberg and hanged them."

1st is the intentional targeting of civies
2nd Is the collateral damage of trying to have limited war. Would you like it like WWII where it became unlimited?

Killed by a suicide bomber is worse, no contest. If you're asleep you won't even notice getting killed, so the method doesn't matter.

Now, one for you:

Which is worse

  • Initiating armed aggression
  • Answering armed aggression after being attacked

There is no question the atomic bombs being dropped saved lives: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Okinawa

Over 150000 civilians died, many at the hands of the Japanese army or even their own hands. If you close your eyes to this truth then you're lieing to yourself.
