You want fairness? Dream on.

Atrocities of all proportion are committed all the time and no one is held accountable.

You are talking about a time of a World War and action against an attacker.

Did Japan commit atrocities against many peoples as well as Germany. Sure some were captured and tried but most escaped and lived a very comfortable life.

You could talk about our use of nukes on Japan all you want and debate options and truth and lies. There are countless books about it.

The bottom line is it stopped the war immediately after the second bomb. Also don't forget the bombs dropped on Japan are like firecrackers compared to the ones they have now.
