:I think we should have bombed Japan.  It showed them that there are consequences to their aggressive actions.  We bombed Japan to show them that our stick is bigger than theirs.  Some people think that innocent people were killed, but no citizens of a country that's at war are innocent.  All the people were probably making weapons and financially supporting he war, and just because they weren't on the front line it didn't mean they weren't for the war  Why should just the soldiers die?  When we're n a war, aren't we all in it together?  At least, we should be.  (Steven H.)
    
:Absolutely not. The Japanese had already informally offered a conditional surrender before we dropped the first one; surrender on the same conditions we ended up accepting in the end. Hundreds upon hundreds of innocent men, women and children died during the originally explosion and the effects that lasted for many months afterward. It was heinous that we would kill so many civilians, uninvolved in the war beyond the fact that they were born in the wrong place at the wrong time.  (Katie B.)
