They were genocidal maniacs. They slaughtered and conquered their way through the Pacific. Their treatment of POW's and the indigenous peoples of occupied areas was comparable to that of the Third Reich. They had entire units devoted to torture and human experimentation, they would kidnap women, loot, sack, and enslave entire cities and cannibalize prisoners of war. They were in the Axis for God's sake they are in no way the good guys.
While you can say that America was provoking Japan into attacking, that is utterly ridiculous. While they may have refused to export oil and fuel their war machine, or back in the 1800's help them free themselves from the bonds of the oppressive Shogun. They froze their assets, why shouldn't they? They were in league with Germany who had broken the Treaty of Versailles and as mentioned in the first paragraph were committing genocide. The US was simply (and peacefully) trying to stop the Japanese war machine slaughtering it's way through the pacific. They attacked the US because the US wouldn't give Japan money or oil. Why should they?
That being said the use of nuclear weapons is reasonable to the military commanders at the time. An invasion of a country, ready to fight to the death for their emperor, and they would keep fighting. There would be a tremendous loss of Allied life. They were beaten and bloody? Well that didn't matter to them, some of them were still fighting until the 1970's. During war you think about your own men first not the enemies. If the US was truly the evil bad country you make it out to be it wouldn't have stay and help rebuild and stabilized Japan |

Japan took the bombing as a way to change. They were free of the rulers and took the opportunity to become one of the greatest nations in the world.
My justification for the bombing is that everything turned out alright. It ended the war instantaneously and changed Japan into something amazing.
The entire world, Japan included, is better off.
Japan went from a nation America hated to a nation that is loved by many other nations.
Besides, the bombing is in the past. Everyone benefitted.
There's no point in looking back on it now. |
