[MD] Atomic Bomb

I'm still waiting to hear if you define the
> dropping of the A-bombs on Japan as a terrorist act.

No. It saved millions of lives by shortening the war. 

[amirman]
It's hard to argue with this kind of mindset. What
kinds of lives did the A-bomb save? It destroyed
infrastructure and killed innocent civilians
(children, disabled people, non-combatants, women,
elderly) so that fewer of your soldiers would die??

Don't you quite see that's exactly what any terrorist
could argue? Create terror in society by killing the
innocents and hopefully that'll prevent a bigger war.

bemused,
amirman
