Your just happy that they dropped one of them on the Catholic Church. Bad Steve. Everyone knows that Japan was in bad straights. They were loosing the air war over their nation and we were burning 50+ cites in a month. We were happy with deciding on Napalm as the explosive of choice for destroying the cities of Japan. Hey they live in paper houses don't they? We were on the killing of any living thing plan for months so when we dropped a really biggggggg bomb, that nobody had a clue about, it seemed to fit the plan of action we already had in place. I saw a great documentary on the blasts last summer for their anniversary. It was on PBS and was 2 or 4 hours long. What interviews with the survivors.
