This is a comfortable stance to take 70 years after the fact.<p>In WWII: Over 60 million people were killed, which was about 3% of the 1940 world population (est. 2.3 billion).<p>The US ended the war in the pacific with those bombs(129,000–246,000+ killed), who knows how many more would have died with an invasion of Japan. The second would not have been dropped if the Japanese had surrounded and ended the war. BTW, the US did not start the war. I&#x27;m not saying I support it, I&#x27;m just saying stop Monday morning quarterbacking.
