Definition of terrorism

[Kyuuketsuki]

do not believe military actions typically fall into the category of terror (regardless of whether they cause fear) when the primary aim is the destruction of incapacitating of a military target or when that action [potentially] has positive significant military consequences

Hirosihima wasn't a military target. It was just wanted to scare japan to surrender, which they could have without killing civilians.

I agree BUT I think it was acceptable because of the balancing risk to US soldiesr. IF the truth be known I think the two cities were a test ... the US army wasn't engaged in terror as such and yes US lives were saved but what they really wanted to know was what effect a nuclear strike would have on a real target. I can't justify that but it is my opinion but I still don't accept it was terrorism.

Also avodining civilans causualties should be more then word. As I said % have the number of civilian causualties increased rapidly since WWII.

Should be perhaps, rarely is.

Peace can't be enforced. Good examples of that is Gandhis method.

He didn't enforce it he just pissed the British off.
