Nagasaki Mayor Tomihisa Taue was quoted as saying by Kyodo, "The use of nuclear weapons constitutes the indiscriminate massacre of ordinary citizens, and it cannot be justified for any reason."
I agree with that...the bombs killed many civilians...if the problem was military bases I am sure they could have found another way to destroy them like oh the other bombs they have besides nucular ones. Just a huge bomb to cause extreme devistation and scare people worldwide..

Nagasaki was the second of two cities, chosen for their lack of military significance, to be destroyed by a new kind of weapon, where with a single bomb one could wipe out an entire population. That's why cities with minimal military significance were chosen, such cities would have no previous bombing damage to complicate the analysis of the before-and-after pictures. Tens of thousands of civilians killed instantly, more thousands left to die slowly as involuntary human subjects in this new military experimentation and testing.

For a military base, quite outrageous. (>_<)
