On August 6, 1945, there was a tremendous and silent flash of light in Hiroshima. Just a beam of light dumped 100,000 civilians into death. The use of the atomic bomb in Japan is still controversial. Some justify the action, insisting that there was no choice. However, in my opinion, it is an unforgivable attempt to destruct mankind.
The advocates for the use of the bomb claim that it was the quickest way to make Japanese surrender. They say if such an attack had not been made, Japan would have their dominance over Asia and the Pacific.
Another reason for justifying the choice is that it was an efficient way to attack, saving thousands of American soldiers. It may hold true since thousands of soldiers were buried in battlefields.
However, why couldn't they find other maneuvers to invade Hiroshima? There would be other kinds of attacks such as air raids, ambushies, naval attacks, etc.. The most important question would be why they had to kill so many innocent citizens. Sacrificing thousands of civillians was an attempt destruct whole mankind. It frightened not only Japan but countries all over the world.
Before making the attempt righteous, think about the alternatives and the possible results. Think about thousands of people walking down the streets in bloodsheds, screaming for help in collapsed buildings and children weeping. There are hundreds of disabled people--physically and mentally--caused by the atomic bomb and thousands of offsprings who bequested their parents' painful wounds. What would happen if the situation were reversed? Is the world's most terrifying moment still be controversial for making it justified? Think about the sacrifices again.
