Fact is, your countrymen are dying by the thousands every day and have been for over 3 years, .... every DAY. Now you have this new technology that, if used, could bring about an end to the war and save millions of lives around the world. You give the enemy several.... SEVERAL mind you, chances to surrender, yes -- uncondistionally... because that was what was needed.
They refuse.
I hazard a guess that had they taken the time to poll the entire US population on this, more than half would have voted to drop the nukes and force a surrender and end the damn thing once and for all.
Now can we all stop crying about it?
The only other meaningful fact is that there isn't a damn thing you or anyone else can do about it, it happened, it's done. Get over it and quit badgering the Americans about it, I'd say 99.9% of those you are arguing with weren't even alive for the event. No one here is responsible.
Cheers. :D
