The atomic bombings at Hiroshima and Nagasaki were horrible events in history. However, there was a good reason behind them. By August 1945, Japan had lost the war (the war they started with a treaty-breaking sneak attack). Their resources and manpower were depleted, and their ally Germany had surrendered months before. However, they were unwilling to stop fighting, and U.S. lives were still being lost. It took those atomic bombings, a show of terrible force, to convince Japan to surrender,and bring an end to the war.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki ended a war that had brought suffering to many. Acts of terrorism are the opposite: they perpetuate and increase suffering.
