In my opinion dropping the atomic bomb on any human race can not be justifiable. Also I do also agree that dropping the bomb did save lives because they would of needed more casualties which meant more lives ay risk. America should have taken more time to make the decision to drop the bomb. America needed to talk with Japan to find alternate ways of ending the war. What do you think?

There were other ways of ending World War II, this should've have ended like this! United States didn't have to kill innocent people and destroy their rural communities!

I do not agree with the United States' decision to drop these two atomic bombs on Japan. Although millions of soldiers on either side would have been killed or injured if they invaded instead, it still does not justify the war crimes that they committed. The United States were focusing on ending the war in a low cost way, with the fewest deaths to their troops, but their solution was targeting civilians in an extremely destructive attack. Many like to think that this was a quick painless end to the war, but thousands of Japanese civilians, who were not instantly killed, suffered in the years following the attack from radiation poisoning, burns, and other injuries.
