There are billions of peaceful muslims who don't go around killing people. There is a relatively small number of disenfranchised loony tunes who happen to claim to be Muslim.
You argument is cheap and about as valid as claiming that city is the club of hooliganism because we had a few lads "back in the day".
At least 400, trained and battle hardened former isis fighters are known to have arrived back to the UK, that's a small number relative to the population, but, but just imagine the carnage 400 murderers can cause, not to mention the radicalisation, there are also 3000 on a watch list, the Westminster killer wasn't on it. But yes I agree there are some brilliant, lovely Muslims in our country that just want to live their lives, unfortunately they don't matter.
How many more millions would have died? Japan would never have surrendered without those bombs, the POW's would have still been tortured and mutilated for years, war is horrid and I hope we never see it again, but that act stopped an horrendous casualty list. If and when the US and the Uk invaded Japan what do you think might have happened. Sorry to rant but these arguments hold little water. I wish that no civilian ever dies again but, they are dying now on on European streets.
Ok and you think that would have been acceptable to the allies do you? The Germans knew they were beaten too, maybe they should have surrendered but their only condition was that Hitler remained chancellor. Holy shit never mind semantics, as has been said in the thread they were an evil that needed to be stopped.
It was acceptable to the Allies. The Emperor remained in situ following their surrender. Although, he did have to renounce his divinity.
The Americans would only accept unconditional surrender. This, some argue, prolonged the war. Others argue that it prevented future conflicts.
The Japanese Council was split (after the first bomb) on whether to surrender conditionally. They were hoping to negotiate with Russia, who had only just declared war on the Japanese themselves. The military wanted to keep on fighting and when Hirohito ordered surrender, there was an attempt to overthrow him by the military. It's the Russian invasion that forced the Japanese to surrender -in my opinion. The Americans had two bombs and had used them both, and the Japanese had resisted surrender during the fire bombing campaign.
Here's an in-depth summary of events. http://www.ihr.org/jhr/v16/v16n3p-4_weber.html
"The Institute for Historical Review (IHR), founded in 1978, is an organization that once published articles and books promoting Holocaust denial, a practice which attracted notoriety to the IHR.[2][3][4][5][6] It was for many years considered by many scholars as the center of the international Holocaust denial movement.[2][7][8] IHR is widely regarded as antisemitic and as having links to neo-Nazi organizations. The Institute published the Journal of Historical Review until 2002, but now disseminates its materials through its website and via email. The Institute is affiliated with the Legion for the Survival of Freedom "
I could pretend I'm surprised,but I'm not.
