Was the use of the atomic bomb against Japan justified?

93. Yes justified

Japan was asked for total surrender and were warned that they were going to be totally destroyed. Japan started the fight and if they weren't going to give up when it was clearly the time, then they have themselves only to blame.

After the first bomb was dropped and another surrender offer was rejected, leaflets were dropped on the city asking the Japanese people to evacuate. Not only were the military leaders of Japan warned, but the civilians of Japan were as well. Evacuate the city and we mainly blow up empty buildings.

I get so sick of this bash America, japan is the victim bullshit. They cowardly attacked our country and throughout the war showed to be ruthless and brutal as their treatment of prisoners of war was REPREHENSIBLE. Oh but lets keep acting like Japan was the innocent victims here. While Germany's brutality overshadows almost anything ever committed, Japan proved themselves very worthy of that thrown as well as a nation that so claimed to have HONOR and PRIDE basically conducted themselves as thugs.

When they turned down a 2nd surrender offer after the first bomb was dropped they were pulling their own rope.
