I can understand how people rationalized it. and continue to do so. I just hope that looking back we can recognize that these weapons should never be used again.
Well not really. The japanese people were warned about what was going to happen. But besides that there was no international law preventing the bombings of Hiroshima or Nagasaki. On top of that there's also the fact that more people died from conventional bombs than did people from the bombings of Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
Also Japan committed many war crimes themselves especially against China. Go ask a Chinese civilian how they feel about the big mean ol' Americans nuking their dear friend Japan.
