Innocent civilians were either vaporized or had to suffer in the agony of radiation poisoning for as much as decades. What kind of sick justice is that?

And the only reason you gave was.... your family was victimized by the Japanese. Which doesn't address the nuclear attack at all.

They had already long since stopped, Cynth. By April they had essentially no navy. They lacked the ability to wage war against anyone, let alone continue expansionism. It wasn't until August, 4 months later, that the nuclear bombs were dropped. Ignoring factual evidence and presenting appeals to emotion and sympathy arguments are intellectually dishonest.
