hmmm dropping nuclear weapons of innocent people and America denies even recognising such a thing as state terrorism.

You do realize how many millions of people would have died in a full scale invasion of Japan, right?Sorry, but that's just a sad rationalization for what was one of the US's darkest moments. Yes dropping a nuclear weapon on innocent people was wrong, but htotheo what exactly were we supposed to do after Pearl Harbor?
I am not saying that America should not have joined the war after Pearl Harbour, i am saying the use of nuclear weapons was jsut unnecassary as the military jsut wished to test their new weapons on actualy targets (hiroshima and Negasaki are still feeling the effect of the dirty bomb - radiation).
A common misconception was that a full scale invasion was the only way to end the war, it wasnt neither was the bomb. The war in Europe and across the world had ceased and Japan's territory was all lost. The Japanese mentality as witnessed through kamakazi pilots did carry over to the negotiation table but not to the extent alot of people think. Talks were underway and Japan was ravaged by the war already. the bomb dropped on Hiroshima was unnecassary as talks were still underway and the negasaki bomb was jsut overkill for my nuclear testing.
Not enough diplomatic means and avenues were used or given enough time to work therefore the two bombs were dropped on innocent civilians. That is why the bomb was unnecassary.
