The problem with clean bombs is that they are usable bombs. One of the biggest reasons governments dont use Nukes is that fall out is terrible, and if you nuke your neighbor it will inevitably hurt you. Where as if you detinate a "clean" bomb that side effect is gone, and the bomb will most likely be used.
Ricarleite:
millions of people didnt die in the bombings, there werent even a million people in combined population of those cities.
check these sites:
Avalon project
Some other site.
that second site is actually a anti drop site, so you dont claim i am dropping biased information.
The estimate the casualties top be between 200.000 and 400,000
And not that all of the people were "innocent" there were military instalations at both locations, thats why they were choosen.
I say all of this not to come across as happy about the bombings, but to put it context.
As far as the surrender goes, my question is why didnt they do it, IIRC the US told them what was gonna go down, claiming to drop a new bomb on a different city every 3 days until Japan surrendered. Luckily they bought our bluff after two, seeing thats all we had, and surrendered.
As for the people that are proud of such things, that is the reason we need bombs, if some crazy moron who thinks like that take power and has access to nukes, some other not so bad guy needs access to them to hold them in check...
