You must see the relation in terms of:
"No price is too great to pay and no brutality too horrible to inflict if it can be justified
that the good will be so much more than the evil needed to impose it.".

That is usualy the main justification for Hiroshima. No?
No. According to you, one is forced to assume that use of the bombs then was evil in some way.
I'm not saying that bombs are evil, I'm just questioning the status-quo that a bomb, or
any other brutality can be justified by the greater good it will achieve.
I understood you clearly. To which I repeat:

Unbelievable moral equivalency rubbish.
