Debate: Should the US have used the Nukes in WWII?

[Alusair]

But look at it this way:
By the US bombing Japan with nuclear weapons, they opened the door to future, cruel deaths for all countries in the world.

Not really. It would have happened anyway. Big weapons and arms races are inevitable with the mentality of humankind. But now we actually know what the weapons can do. It's one thing to use a weapon in blissful ignorance, and another to use a weapon knowing what it's capable of doing.
