With humblest respect for your past service to our country, I must
admit that the question you pose illustrates the main problem behind
why the Bomb was used: Because no one knew a "better" way. This
represents a militarily trained, "any-means-necessary" bias.

No, this represents "You havent a f*cking clue what you are talking about"
attempt at a cop out.

Simply re-asserting the bias does not advance your argument.

There is no bias in my argument.

Ah, the old "That which I cannot see does not exist" myopia. Your
assumption (that anyone who opposes atomic weaponry doesn't know what
s/he is talking about) pretty much stamps "MilitaryIndustrial Bias"
across your forehead.

(Just curious - why are you okay with murdering 100,000 civilians but
afraid to spell the word "****"?)
Actually, you have failed to answer any of the questoins raised in
my post. You have at no point addressed any of the real concerns with
the neccesity or lack therof of the use of atomic weapons.
When confronted with facts opposing your viewpoint, you seem to
have no ability to meet them with anything more effective than
"military industrial bias" comments, with no substantive components to
your arguement, or any ability to effectively analyze or dispute
opposing viewpoints.
