Hmmmmm, very good point. But the Americans did it to end a war that was killing innocent people, and it was the only way to break the Japanese honor. What Hitler did was inhuman. He would starve these people, use them for testing on biological weapons and other things, they were in the meantime given horrible living conditions, whip them, make them change religion, murder them when they were so useless they couldn't even walk. And when they were dead, they would throw them into piles of hundreds and burn them, bury them in masses, or dump them someplace where they thought no one would find them. The Americans dropped the bomb because they were trying to end the Japanese war machine too. Japans ways of torture were just as bad as the German Concentration camps, but they also did it to the American troops, not just the Jewish. At least the Germans gave the Allies a little bit of respect and didn't do what they did to the Jews. The Japs would behead the Americans, once they burned their flesh and whipped them 1000 times.
