Another little tidbit the biased left wing media forgot to mention

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Seriously?  You're comparing the PTO to Israel's policy of bombing civilians?  Japan in 1941 was a expanding, powerful empire.  Its policy of conquest in Asia was an existential threat.  Israel, on the other hand, are performing actions that are all out of proportion to what the Palestinians are doing.

The only way you could seriously compare the two would be if the Japanese had snuck into Hawaii and sprayed 'Roosevelt is a Homo' on a palm tree and then run away, at which point the US immediately began dropping bombs on preschools.

It doesn't alter the fact that whatever the Japanese did, they didn't warrant having a nuclear bomb dropped on them. The Japanese are your equivalent of the Hamas throwing rocks if you will, and your yanks are your Israeli equivalent of lancing rockets.

At the time the atomic bombs were considered to be big fire bombs. Earlier firebombing of Tokyo had killed 116,000 people in one night. (The government of Japan moved war industries into private homes to decentralize it.) "Fallout" wasn't understood at the time and we had no test data as to what a bomb would do to animals, or cities for that matter. 

Retrofitting Cold War horror stories in 1945 is asinine.
