I grew up under the gospel of "The bomb was the lesser of two evils" to end WWII. If you still feel this way, this essay is essential reading.
That myth seduces us into believing there's a moral case for nuclear weapons. There is none.

The rationale for using nuclear weapons in WWII seemed to be that we can save the lives of our soldiers at the expense of the lives of their civilians.
I am pretty certain the racial difference played into the acceptability of this rationale at the time.
