America freaked out when 2,000 soldiers died. Imagine how it would feel if 300,000 innocent civilians died, and are still being effected today 70 years later.

When soldiers kill soldiers it’s war, but when soldiers kill civilians it’s murder. That’s exactly what we did, we murdered 300,000 civilians. We have to realize as a nation that we went too far. Some people that was apart of the making of the bomb already know they went too far. J Robert Oppenheimer, a physicist that helped work on the bomb, said in an interview after the bombs were dropped, “We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.
