K for the record I'm not american.
This is a classic example of rewriting history from the 21st centuty holier-than-thou hippie perspective. Couple of facts:
1) Japan started it.
2) Japan was prepared to defend the mainland to the Last man.
Given the choice of losing another god-knows-how-many americans (yeah france was gonna help, sure) in an invasion of Honshu, how can you blame them for doing what they did? It ended the war. A war the Japanese started. I'd be willing to listen to arguments that the second bomb wasn't really warranted... but give me a break. Nobody is gonna tell you war is pretty, but in the end, the responsibility for both atom bombs lies with the Japanese leaders who decided to commit their own war crime - Pearl Harbor.
