The explosive force was equal to 40 Million pounds of TNT.
About 130,000 Japanese civilians were vaporized instantly. By the time we were done bombing other parts of Japan, 22 Million Japanese were homeless.
So crying over 20 dead Iraqi's isn't even pocket change in comparison to other devastion we've unleashed on our enemies in our history.
The US doesn't fuck around when it comes to warfare. And sometimes collateral damage occurs intentionally or unintentionally. But that is the price of war and playing fucking games with the United States of America.

And look at Japan today. They are a prosperous and peaceful nation.
