The Japanese Empire has deliberately invaded the Asian continent, the Pacific Ocean, and furthermore the United States. The ruthless colonization upon the Korean peninsula is still being an issue and the Maruta biochemical experiment unit, numerous slaughters in various places, cultural wipeouts have long distressed the countries and peoples who had suffered the tyranny of the Empire.
If it were the destructiveness of the bomb my opposing viewers would point out as a rebuttal, I shall give them more than enough genocides, rapes, tortures of the Empire to equal or even outnumber the bomb. Why is it that they view the bomb with particular sympathy different from that of Koreans or Chinese? Why should a bullet piercing through one��s heart or a machete slitting through one��s throat be considered inferior in terms of violence to an instant flash of heat and light? I seek the answer for these questions from the current supremacy of Japan in the world economy and numerous international affairs. To add, unlike Germany, Japan��s shameless, arrogant attitude on the World War should count as another answer.
Then some would ask; why did then the Americans have to use the atomic bomb despite other options were present? We are all aware of the Kamikaze Special Forces and its brutality as well as patriotism. The devotion, the faith the pilots embodied for the emperor was no differently in the Japanese public��s brains. As a result of constant brainwash, the Japanese would have fought to their last breath until the emperor capitulated. Quoting the famous general Mc Arthur: ��If the emperor ordered resistance to death to his people, the U.S. will need a million more troops�� Thus, the exclusive use of the bomb was an inevitable tactical shortcut to peace. Besides, wartime kills on possible combatants are justified by the rules of engagement.
To sum it up, the atomic bomb in Hiroshima and Nagasaki was a catalyst for the ending of the war. If two atomic bombs were reserved, millions of carpet-bombing should have been necessary all over Japan including Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which were major military bases. The tactical decision of the U.S. should not be considered as an act of eye-to-eye, but an act of conserving precious time, lives, and money since there were other alternatives they would have chosen if their intentions were actually an eye-to-eye revenge.
