Sorry Americans, still alone in your 'used a nuke to mass murder' club.

Are you serious?
1. Japan struck first at Pearl Harbor.
2. The US usage of the bomb avoided the need for an invasion of the Japanese mainland, and saved tens, if not hundreds of thousands of lives of the very same people which the Japanese preemptively attacked in the beginning.
3. Then Japan surrendered, which saved the rest of the Japanese population from being even worse off (read: annihilated).
War is cruel, ugly, and never something to be proud of, on any side, ever. But you have to remember, the Japanese brought it upon themselves, and as Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto said after the attack on Pearl Harbor which he led (before the US shot his ass down out of the sky in 1943) "I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve". Yamamoto, you were right.
Sorry moeloubani, but the thesis of your statement holds no water.
