My first reason is that the Japanese would have never surrendered without a full scale invasion of the Japanese mainland if we had not shown such distructive power.  The Japanese were not afraid of death, and would do anything to protect their Emperor, which is part of the reason why we made sure that the Emperor became just a figurehead in Japan after they finally surrendered.\n\nMy second reason is that it saved countless American and Japanese lives.  A full scale invasion of the Japanese mainland was projected to cost at least 1 million American lives.\n\nMy third reason is that America was already wary of Russia at this point.  We needed to make sure that once WWII was over, Russia would see us as a threat, so that Communism could not easily be spread to the US.

Consider the following:\n\n1) The US, as it progressed closer and closer to the Japanese islands, faced increasing fanatical and suicidal resistance. The casualties lost by the US armed forces was immense, but even more so was the fervor with which the Japanese cast their lives away, to ultimately no valuable military purpose.\n\n2) Repeated overtures to the Japanese government prior to the drop of the bombs by neutral countries regarding surrender were rejected out of hand by all members of the Japanese government. Also, envoys of the US government in neutral countries, offering negotiating terms, were rebuffed repeatedly.\n\n3) Evaluations of the enemy resistance prior to the bombs led the US to believe that, should the US invade Japan, which would be the last logical step to concluding the Pacific campaign, the US would lose upwards of a million casualties killed and wounded, not to mention the utter destruction of the Japanese culture and people, who were considered by the Japanese war machine as totally expendable.\n\nThe US didn't drop the bomb out-of-hand; repeated warnings and overtures were made to Japan prior to the dropping of the bomb. Weeks before the bomb was dropped, B-29s took several days off bombing Japan and dropped leaflets to the Japanese people, urging them to pressure their government to surrender. These leaflets were dismissed as US propoganda and disregarded.\n\nAfter the first bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, again the US urged the Japanese government to surrender; these were also summarily rejected. Only after the Soviet Union declared war on Japan, as well as the Nagasaki bombing, did the Japanese finally capitulate.\n\nWhile the bombings were horrific in both physical damage and the human cost, the possible outcome outline above in US and Japanese casualties would be more horrific and reprehensible in the course of human history.

I am not going to write your essay, but would advise you to read up on the "Blank Cheque". Look at the gap between the shooting and the start of the war. Look at how war unites a country which is in trouble internally.

And the justification would be - -- - -?   Hatred is hardly a valid reason for unleashing nuclear holocaust.  Once a country begins nuking nations the planet will soon become inhabitable.  Global Warming?  Try Nuclear Winter. But then again most Republicans are Evangelical Christians praying for the prophesies in The Book of Revelations to happen so that Jesus can welcome them into Heaven.  Augh.  \n\nPeace...

I'm proud of the United States for a number of reasons. \n\n- We have a relatively fair system of justice. There are very few places that do as well as we do in that realm. \n- We have quite a bit of freedom guaranteed by our Constitution, and in fact defended by our justice systems. \n- We have a good history of promoting invention for reasonable profit. That has resulted in a LOT of important innovations. \n- We used our financial, military, and diplomatic resources to stop several major threats, including Hitler and Stalin. \n- We just this week stood up against the out-of-control domestic right-wing movement despite a propaganda network on a scale of those used by Hitler and Stalin. \n\nWe're far from perfect, and we may still fall to our religious extremists, but there is no doubt that the United States has been an overall force for good, and a vital one.\n\nI could find many good things to say about many other countries as well. I don't think this needs to be a contest between countries: it'd be a dull and lesser world if they were all alike.

Christians did not drop atom bombs on the Japanese. Americans dropped atom bombs on the Japanese. It is an important distinction, and should be clear.\n   As the "poor" Japanese attacked our country without provocation at Pearl Harbor, I feel rather less sympathy than I might, although no nation should be subject to the terrors of nuclear war.

I would have exhibited restraint and patience, employed our intelligence agencies to track down Osama and infiltrated his camp.  I might have even established a decoy group of dissidents in hopes Osama would reach out to the group and offer support or take them under his wing.  \n\nOn the surface, I would deliberately look like I was taking a weak stance on the attack or even act as if I was unaware of who committed the attack.  Not only would this have infuriated Osama and kept him from becoming some Jihad hero, this would lull him into a false sense of security.  All the while I would be using the information I was gathering to gain knowledge of his strength, weaponry, supporters and future planned attacks.  \n\nUsing this information, I would circumvent any future attacks.\n\nAfter gaining as much information as I could, I would send a recon team from our Special Forces to his location, capture (or kill) him and his body guards, and attempt to bring him to America to face justice.\n \nAs for communicating with terrorists, I have long been against the US policy of non-communication.  How can go to a war against an enemy without having the ability to negotiate a peaceful resolution?  I firmly believe an open dialog with those groups who wish to harm America is the only way to convince them to stop attacking America and American interests overseas.\n\nAttacking Afghanistan was similar to blowing up a house to catch a rat; the house gets destroyed, but the rat simply goes to another house.\n\nNo, the attack on Iraq was not revenge; the attack on Iraq was for economic reasons and is producing the intended results.

I can't write the whole conclusion for you, because as far as I can tell, what you've written so far, is the intro. I don't know what you have for the body of the essay. But, you could include something like: \n\n"In conclusion, we can see that there are many differences between Poland and America, but we can appreciate the similarities even more, when we stop to consider important people such as the great engineer, Thaddeus Kosciusko, who served with General George Washington, in the American Revolution, to help the Colonies defeat the British; and the tremendous contribution to humanity by the wonderful scientist, Madame Marie Curie (who was Polish). Frédéric François Chopin, the great composer, has also added some beauty to our American culture. (etc)\n\nGood Luck, and Have Fun!!

I say prudent. But I would take it a step farther and build a bomb shelter too. Nuclear war is around the corner. All the land, gold and guns in the world won't save you from that...

The “just war” doctrine requires rigorous consideration to determine if defense by military force is legitimate. Offensive war is never justified. \n\nAll the following considerations must be true to justify war:\n1. The damage inflicted by the aggressor on the nation or community of nations must be lasting, grave, and certain;\n2. All other means of putting an end to it must have been shown to be impractical or ineffective;\n3. There must be serious prospects of success;\n4. The use of arms must not produce evils and disorders graver than the evil to be eliminated. \n\nIt has been argued the pre-war Iraq:\n1. Was not inflicting lasting, grave and certain damage to the United States;\n2. Could have been influenced by diplomatic and international sanctions.\n\nIt is argued now that:\n3. There is not a serious prospect of success;\n4. The use of arms has produced evils and disorders greater than the evil eliminated.\n\nWith love in Christ.

USA just happens to be the “best” target.\n16-Arming Israel with nuclear weapons and disturbing the peace in the middle east (Proof on the nukes, please.

Whether it is a good decision or not depends a lot on the context.  I remember one interview (linked below) in which Obama stated that airstrikes might eventually be necessary but that the US should first work through the UN security council and economic sanctions.  I would've applauded a similar statement by Bush at any point in the two years since that article came out.\n\nThere may be a time for military action and it is important for politicians on both sides of the aisle to consider it.  But it is also critical to use other means when possible.

Strike for what?\n\nIf you were to attach a country purely based on rhetoric then you would have to go for, pretty much, every country in the area.\n\nThe issue of nuclear proliferation is pretty complex but the genie is out of the bottle ... who is to say they are not entitled to develop what they want?  I personally would rather they didn't develop such capability but I would be hard pressed to make a persuasive argument why the West can have it but they can't.\n\nPeace out

don't waste time defending this proposition. the fact is that all wars have survivors, even nuclear war. I'd suggest that your essay should chronicle progression of the mass murder that commenced in 1938 and continued through August 1945, with the extermination of 35 - 50 million (no one knows exact casualty totals) people during WW II. Billions survived this catastrophe, and billions will survive the next one.  Nonsense aphorisms such as the one your essay is to explore seem sensible, but in fact serve no purpose other than to distract rational persons from viewing their world in terms of its history and likely - even if dark - future. good luck!
