common sense.
.. and WW2 was in the early 40s ... not on the late 40s.. or early 50.. LOL.. one could also say it sorta started in the late 30s..

read up on the korean DMZ... how south and north korea are conatantly watchin each other's moves... read about the people stationed there. where there's two bases on opposite sides of the DMZ and at any given time you can look over and see some guy watching you with binoculars. that any time troops are moved by north korea any where close to the border, south korea gets prepared for an attack...now throw in that the neighbor that could go to war with you at any time is testing nukes....makes for a very tense situation

Thank you, my thoughts exactly.
C'mon 7even...look at the bigger picture here. We used two atomic bombs against Japan for one reason, and one reason only:
1) To save the lives of millions of American and Japanese lives. If the bombs weren't dropped, Japan wouldn't have surrendered, and that would have called for the invasion of Japan. The invasion of Japan would've killed millions of soldiers, Japanese and American, and would have taken alot longer, and costed alot more money.
So, we used the atomic bombs in 1945. Since then, America has had NO wars. America didn't declare war in Korea, Vietnam, and both Iraq conflicts. But you call them wars. Ok...did America use nuclear weapons in ANY of those "wars"? NO. America would only use nuclear weapons if they were desparately needed...like in WWII.
North Korea, on the other hand, WOULD use them, in one way or another. Whether actually using them in combat, or selling them...either way is using their nuclear "assets". North Korea is very poor...so say here comes Al-Qaida offering a huge amount of money to North Korea to purchase some nukes. Since N Korea is so poor and they know what Al-Qaida will use them for (the United States, perhaps? ???), they happily sell them the nukes. A few monthes of planning later, a few cities, and few million American lives are wiped off the face of the Earth.
Now please, read all of that carefully, and "get" exactly what I'm trying to "get through" to you.
You'd still rather North Korea have nukes than America?
white Boy:
there was NO reason to use 2 bombs. 1 would be sufficient

Since then america has had no wars? Uh, what are we doing now then?
war 1. A state of open, armed, often prolonged conflict carried on between nations, states, or parties.
But i agree with you mostly. Korea eats dogs, they will sell nukes for money. Nobody could know what would happen during ww2 so you cant say millions of lives could be lost.
America back then had a pathetic military, atomic bombs were basically our only leverage. Now that america has the largest most powerful army, we have no use for nukes. Other countries on the other hand....Nukes would be their only way to beat america in war.
