Let the debating begin!!!
unfortunatly yes.
Unless you what murderers, rapists, and thefts to walk freely about and go unpunished which is what would happen if we were unwilling to use violence to stop them.
Unless you would like to be ruled by the likes of Sadam, Hitler and Bin Laden then yes.
I do not know wheither it is true or not. But many argue that Japan was willing to surrender before the bomb was dropped.

As we look at history, the dropping of the bomb on Hiroshima remains justified, as the massive death was still paltry compared to the amount of death that would have been caused by a protracted invasion of Japan. Sometimes violence is supported by bean counting. Doesn't mean we will rest easy with the thought, and it doesn't mean the afterlife will be any kinder to us for making those kinds of decisions, but this is perhaps the ultimate example that answers the question.
