Oh and the pilot who flew and dropped the bombs went crazy a few weeks after. You would too.

We never really knew how strong the nuclear weapons were. It was still the 40's and we didn't know the effect of the bombs.
Yes we had to bomb Japan. Those Japanese have so much nationalism in their blood, they wouldn't give up. Hell, even after the first bomb they still refused to give up. It was a miracle Japan gave up after the second bomb, otherwise we would've been in war with them for even longer, considering we didn't have anymore Nuclear weapons at the time.
Horrid, I agree. Sometimes Drastic Actions are required to end drastic times.
