I Believe that that attacks against Hiroshima and Nagasaki were a necessary evil, and I do stress "Evil".

They saved many, many more lives than they took. It's not just the US and Japanese casualties on Japan itself that must be considered, but also the lives of soldiers in captivity, civilians in subjugated countries and the like. The shortening of the war would have saved the lives of countless POW and civilian lives.

Bombing a civilian population to win a war is morally repugnant, and should never be entered into lightly, especially with such devastating weaponry. But at the end of the day, it was the best thing for the situation; a situation that humanity will hopefully never find itself in again
