Anyhow the point of the thread isn't really about whether nuking Japan was a good idea or not.
The point is that if you look at history as a guide you have every reason to want nuclear weapons as an insurance policy, especially if America doesn't like you. And especilaly when America has just spent 10 years invading countries on both sides of you.
The idea Iran wants nuclear weapons primarily to use on Israel is something only mouthbreathing American RWNs could come up with. I don't doubt Iran wants nuclear weapons but the obvious reason it wants them is so it can be sure America will never invade it and Israel will never bomb it. Not so it can start a nuclear war in the ME.

How do you know that?
The only reason we didn't nuke Korea was that the soviets had the bomb by then.
That is your opinion based on your view of America, not a fact, and does not answer my question.

Sane people would fit that mold. Religious people are not sane people. Hence it doesn't fit.

Yes, and we went through 4 years of horrible island to island war beforehand. That's sorta an indication that the decision wasn't taken lightly, whether right or wrong in the end.
We didn't have the bomb for 4 years so that's a sorta poor argument. Only about a month passed between finishing the bomb and using it.
In fact we didn't have the bomb until Japan was already clearly beaten and not a threat to anyone any more. But we still used it anyhow. Not once, but twice, within 3 days.
Its about as good an argument as your assumption that only other countries development kept us from playing Missle Command across the entire planet. Yours is a completely ridiculous argument from biased thinking.
And i'm sure you know the reasons why it was done instead of an invasion of a country that was still vowing to fight on.
