I accidently clicked agree to this.

They deserve the same respect in my opinion.

Hiroshima and Nagaski saved millions of lives, it was a shame that it came to that but sometimes, relatively, few must die so many may live. Expected U.S. casualties for invading mainland Japan were in the millions, not taking into account the Japanese deaths that would have followed. The Japanese did ask for it the rape of nanjing ect. They were the aggressors in that war. We were at war with Japan.
Andrew {Ed001's Note - neither saved lives, the Japanese had already agreed to surrender, they were haggling over details. Mainly that the Japanese did not want to give up their Emperor. Again you are talking brainwashed nonsense fed to people in order to perpetuate the lie that either bomb needed to be dropped. They were dropped because the Americans wanted to test them, no other reason. Obviously it has also escaped your notice that they took millions of lives, people are still affected by the aftermath now. Also, to say the Japanese were the aggressors only tells half the story, it forgets that they went to war with the USA after the Americans invaded Hawaii. Hawaii had held a referendum to decide whether it wanted to become a part of Japan, the USA or not. The Americans found out that the vote had come out in favour of Japan and invaded. They were just as much the aggressors in any war with Japan.}

I forget the photographers name, but basically there was a guy who documented some of the victims of the bombings with his photos and it was really horrible to look at. Truly disgusting what humans do to one another.
