What an insane argument to make, 'the axis had been doing **** like this so it's only right our side do it too because two wrongs make a right!' We needed to be better than Nazis and the Japanese army, not use their actions to justify an abhorrent show of force against civilians.

Also reasonable people are able to separate the actions of a government from civilians unfortunate enough to be born into dictatorships. To make out that they are one and the same and that makes it justifiable is rather ignorant. Most of the victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were civilians and people not yet born would suffer from the effects of it. To make out that it's justified that people not yet born should carry the physical consequences of their government's actions is outrageous and immoral.

Japan has never admitted their war crimes and they only gave a pittance to Korea (and not their victims) for the horrific mass rape of Korean women, and the army's cruelty knew no bounds, but you can't hold civilians responsible for a dictatorship's actions. Japanese civilians had no power or say, yet they were made to perish or carry on the physical ramifications of their government's actions for generations.

Blame the government, demand action from the government and wage war against enemy combatants and military structures, not it's civilians. It's a war crime to do so for a reason.
