Was it better to bomb Hiroshima than to sacrifice several hundred
thousand American servicemen and perhaps a million or two Japanese
soldiers and civilians in the invasions to come?

The operative words being "servicemen" and "soldiers", of course.

sarcasm on

Maybe I missed it, but were there comments about Coventry, The Blitz,
Stalingrad, Auschwitz, The Rape of Nanking, Manchuria, and all of the other
atrocities in the original post, or is the original post completely myopic?

Were Japanses civilians responsible for any of those atrocities?


Quite a few were.

An interesting side note was a Nazi representative to Nanking saved the lives
of many Chinese.
