America Should Not Have Dropped the Bombs

In today 's context , it is hard to imagine that the self-proclaimed peacekeeper of the world , the United States of America , would drop a devastating bomb over a populated city . Although it is hard to swallow the US did drop a nuclear bomb almost seventy years ago during one of the bloodiest and scariest wars of all time . The bombing , dropped to Hiroshima and Nagasaki , killed billions of people and destructed over millions worth of property

. The bombing was considered as the most destructive bombing ever happened in the Earth . The bombing shocked all people over the globe . The bombing , until now , is still being debated about . Should the US really have to bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki ? The cons and the pros have already been laid on the ground . And from my own point of view , the US should not have bombed Nagasaki and Hiroshima during World War II

Several reasons could be enumerated to logically defend the stand of many who are against the nuclear bombings . Some of these reasons would fall under the category of ethics and morality , politics , and humanity

The first argument that could be drawn to oppose the decision of the US regarding its bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki concerns ethics or morality . One of the reasons being cited to answer why US deserted to atomic bombing is the ethics or morality of the Japanese . It could be remember that the incident that triggered for such action from the US government was Japan 's bombing of the Pearl Harbor . It caused the death of millions of American soldiers . The attack is said to be the main reason why US wanted to take revenge on Japan , targeting to gain the full surrender of the country . The bombing of the Pearl Harbor by the Japanese was said to be unethical . In fact , the act was considered as a kind of terrorist attack . Japanese ' way of killing the American soldiers did not pass the standards of morality . Let us just imagine that the Japanese way of killing , not only during the Pearl Harbor attack , but attacks to other countries as well , was really not acceptable . There were reports of cases of treacherous killings among the captives of the Japanese . One example of this was the case of the Bataan Death March American and Filipino captives in the Philippines did the march that lasted for over sixty miles . The captives , who lacked medication , were forced to march from Manila to Bataan . Some of those captives were shot in the head when they had stopped from marching . In addition to this the Japanese were known by their way of killing captives . They slashed the throats of their captives or burned their bodies on fire . These brutalities were considered inhumane by some , thus making the nuclear bombing a justifiable act

However , no matter how inhumane the Japanese behaved and treated their captives , it is not an enough reason...
