Answer: I completely agree with this, they could have bombed in a more humane way, not using the nuclear bombs they did. Destroying an entire city, with civilians, isn't right.

Answer: I personally feel as though the bomb shouldn't have been dropped. It killed many innocent civilians, and showed that other countries could drop bombs, with little to no repercussions. We were driven by revenge, and seldom does that end well for either side. We were relieved that Japan surrendered, but the numerous amount of civilians killed was unnecessary. The civilians weren't the ones that dropped the bombs on Pearl Harbor. The military did. Just like the citizens of the United States have little control over the military, and what actions they take, the same applies for Japan. Looking at it from a person whom merely lives in a country and has no say in the militaristic actions, the civilians didn't deserve to die at the hands of Japan's and the United States warfare tactics.
