I'm sure your opinion of what's justifiable would be a little different if you had been at ground zero, with your skin melting off your bones. Or you survived the initial blast, only to succumb to radiation poisoning. Or live long enough to bear hideously deformed children.

Try to fight evil with evil, and you're only ensuring its triumph.
That was kind of exactly the point I was trying to make...
Sorry if I upset you.
Anwho, ask yourself this:
If the choice comes down to using the atomic bomb or letting Hitler win the war, what do you choose?
It seems like evil wins either way, but I'd like to think that even if evil wins the day, good triumphs in a larger sense.

Why obtuse? Because they disagree with your opinion?
Umm...
I think you just illustrated wfmyers1207's point.
Three WW II Dates:
VE Day 05/08/1945 - Nazi Surrender
Hiroshima 08/06/1945 - Atomic Bomb
