The use of the relatively tiny atomic bombs to end WWII can be interpreted with equal logic as a war crime or a practical means of ending a war that would otherwise linger on indefinitely at the expense of both sides of the conflict.
I'm sure the latter argument fails to resonate in Japan and I would like to see an international ban on any military action that deliberately targets innocent civilians. That we manufacture and store a nuclear arsenal capable of destroying our species is pathological.
What we should be seeking is an absolute eradication of every nuclear weapon in existence- but that would require the collective sanity of our species so cannot possibly happen.
Still, we have to try.
