  1. Bombing of Dresden was pretty bad, too.

    I tend to think Nagasaki was more directed at Russia. Why did we wait only 3 days after Hiroshima to do it again. We wanted Japan’s surrender before USSR could get in the act. After Hiroshima, Japan wasn’t set to do any damage to us in the next week or so. Why not let it sink in a little?

  2. “No reason to annihilate 100k people, dropping it on a sparsely populated outer island would’ve shown the destructive power.”

    So it’s just a matter of degree then. 30,000 or so would have been OK???
