I suppose they could have done it Japanese style, murder all the men by the
most barbarous and sadistic means available and then systematically rape and
murder all the women. Of course, they would have had to risk who knows how
many thousands of lives in an invasion before they would get to play those
sadistic games.


Two wrongs have never made a "right."


Two wrongs don't make a right. However, the statement has nothing to do
with the topic. Destruction is a part of war. It would be more likely
to avoid war if you avoid starting one by attacking the other party.
The destruction of Hiroshima was fully justified by it's result. In
fact, it produced an end to the war with less impact on Japan than any
other end that could be envisioned at the time. FFM

They don't? I would suggest that in this case it did.
