There was no other way. It was either bomb the Japs or invade them. Millions of Allied soldeirs would've died during the invasion. The war would've dragged on for years the Japs would fight until everyone of them was dead. Bombing 200,000 people saved millions more.

FreeMason, stop speculating about what MIGHT have happened and what the civilians MAY have been thinking.
contrary to your belief, everything that comes out of your mouth is not automatically assumed as "History". It's YOUR perspective of it, and nothing more. Why you keep going on about Nazis is anyones guess, but the Women and children who died in the Nuclear bombing were NOT going to rip up the US army and cause millions of deaths, accept it.
The Japanese army machine had their soldiers in schools teaching kids how to lay booby traps and how best to kill invading enemy, they were taught every which way to and the best way to kill, all the people were also being trained how to fight to the bitter end, every last one of them and this is fact not a fairy tale. You are kidding your self that instead of dropping the bomb it would have been better to invade.
Please do some research on the Japanese war mongering that was going on before Pearl Harbor, and their quest for more war materials so they could invade sack and pilliage, murder more people in Asia and beyond, that is why the US placed an embargo on Japan so they could not get any more war materials ans thus brought about Pearl.
The morality involved with the uses of A-bombs, nukes, etc. will never be fully explained nor ever justified.
It was a mistake and will always be one, no matter the amount of "justifications."
I want to say this the nicest way I can. Whatever is causing you to post like this, please have it checked out and corrected.
