RE: Remembering Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Tokyo: Statism Manifested as Murder Apologism (why some individuals still view mass murder as morally legitimate)
The US knew the Japanese were prepared for surrender, this was all about show of force and the efficacy of modern weapons. The innocents that perished in Japan via Atomic weapons, were essentially props. That horror has kept regimes quiet for almost 80 years. Terrible way to seize power.
