I never said it is morally acceptable.
But I already explained why I would prefer (for example) a blockade, a demonstration, further tries of negotiations (yes yes, fanatic suicide samurai, all of them, I know...) over
directly, instantly and willingly killing a few ten thousand people, favorably civilians.
If you drop these bombs and turn thousands to ashes, you bear the responsibility for that.
If you block the island because a stubborn government is unwilling to accept defeat - the responsibility shifts towards this government.
That makes a
huge difference to me.
All I said in the end is that,
for me, nothing justifies the usage of nuclear weapons. You start to disappoint me for not understanding this rather simple point of view/opinion, insisting that only because I condemn these actions I therefore have the burden to find a better solution, which is nonsensical actually.
