Do you support or oppose the following statement? The use of the atomic bomb against Japanese civilians and military personnel was a morally acceptable method to end World War II.

I oppose this because the united state could have found another way to end the war but instead they bomb a whole nation. The Japanese only attacked pear harbor not the whole united united states and the did not bomb it with an atomic bomb.

The consensus regarding the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagaski as a means of ending WWII is mixed. Some commentators argue that the cost in American lives of a ground invasion of Japan would be too great. Others have argued that the bombing of two Japanese cities was inhumane. The death toll and the nuclear fallout from the bombs had innumerable effects on the population for generations. It also distinguishes the United States from other countries in the world. The U. S. is the only country to have utilized nuclear weapons in an armed conflict.
