This is an old topic for us newb, debatet several times over the years. I don't think anybody has ever tried to debate that targeting civilians is not effective or smart strategy. What there is dissidesence over, is the necessity and usefulness of the bombing of Dresden and the second nuke over Nagasaki. Both actions without any military value or any sort of propaganda value (IMHO).

ok sorry, that was the impression I got. I originally just wanted to show that Germany was developing nukes. I got sidetracked. The bombing of Nagasaki, I remember reading this, but can not get any sources as to its validity. Before the Hiroshima bomb, America asked for the unconditional surrender of Japan. They refused and we dropped the bomb. We asked again and they refused again so we dropped the bomb again. After that they surrendered. All I reme,ber about where I read it was it was in a book in the library of my grade school. Sorry to stir up the hornets nest. I'll drop it now, you won't hear from me anymore in this thread
