Thesis and Abstract

The United States was unjustified in dropping the two atomic bombs because thousands of people died and physical deformities plagued the japanese people for many generations. The bombs also caused countries to distrust the U.S. and started the confusion of the Cold War.

If atomic bombs were morally correct, why haven't they been used since Nagasaki dropping? The Americans suffered from more than 50,000 deaths, while the Vietnamese numbers doubled and had over 1 million deaths. The Atomic Bomb was supposed to be used to end the war and to save lives. It may have ended the war, but it did exactly the opposite of saving lives.

No matter what the political goal may be, intentionally killing an agglomeration of non-combatants is not a morally acceptable decision.
