of course, no-one was ever held accountable for this as it meant the perpetrators had won. |
i honestly don't think that's true. compared with the bombing of dresden (estimates are that between 35,000 and 100,000 were killed in three days) or hamburg (40,000 killed in three days; most on the first night though) or london for that matter ( >40,000 deaths but spread over eight months) what's "worse" about hiroshima and nagasaki?
to say that it's worse because it only took one bomb to destroy a city misses the point of what the damage was i'd say, and the INTENT was the same in each case.
