it is true that if we had not nukes Japan they prolly would have never surrendered, fuck they had enough balls to take one hit without giving in, which is what led to number 2 bombing... so yes you could somewhat justify it
BUT
the simple fact that Hiroshima was left virtually untouched during the war while we fire bombed the fuck out of the rest of the country is suspicious enough to make most people believe that it was left untouched solely in order to determine how much damage a nuke could do, with the majority of deaths being civilian..... whether or not you call that terrorism is up to you, but the arguement that it could not be terrorism because we were at war is not valid. the whole point of war is to terrorize your enemy into surrendering... call the nukes what you will, but you would be pretty fucking terrorized if you woke up tomorrow and saw a mushroom cloud from a nuke that Iraq managed to sneak into the country, and we are at war win them still
