70th anniversary of atomic bombing of Hiroshima

Regardless of any assumptions or what ifs in regard to using such a devastating weapon, I try to comfort my tormented id in the knowledge that it only had to be used twice. After Hiroshima was reduced to glass, the Japanese still tried to sue for peace. Stalling tactic? You bet it was. So Nagasaki got the horns of the bull too. It wasn't until the Japanese were overtly informed that Tokyo would be next in line that they finally saw the light.

Edit: Captain hindsight says: Count your lucky stars... We could have dropped both bombs on Tokyo and called it a day.
