Because the point was to show overwhelming force, not get rid of Japan. |

| Wow the reason usa had done it was to take out two industrialized cities in Japan not take out a ton of population... Either way USA managed to kill 100,000s innocent civilians which should of been a war crime. |

| It was a war crime IMHO. I don't think any Americans out there can lecture us Brits on ethnic cleansing. We didn't nuke anybody. |

The reason we didn't bomb Tokyo - despite it being a target, is because of historical sites.
The war crime thing fails because the UN is pretty much the USA, and the UN controls the warcrime things.
Plus it wasn't illegal then.
Plus - how many civilians did Japan kill? |

War crimes shouldn't exist it's war.
How do you get crimes for war?
Also Japanse raping of Chinese citizens was worse.The Chinese suffered the japs got a quick painless death. |

"No, they agreed to surrender the day after the second bomb."
ADDING ON TO THIS^ They sent a offer to the U.S.S.R as a surrender but Stalin threw it out. But then the second bomb came and directly contacted the U.S |
