List two reasons the atomic bomb should NOT have been used on Japan to end WWII.

What do you think? Should the bomb have been used? Why or why not?

In my opinion the atomic bomb should NOT been used on Japan to end WWII because it killed innocent civilians who killed many people and children. A war should be between the soldiers and not the people. The United States had many more industrial resources to use against Japan however they wanted a more fast and "easy" way to end the war. Japan was also halfway destroyed so why more damage? It caused maximum devastation. Just six days after the Nagasaki bombing, the Emperor's Gyokuon-hōsō speech was broadcast to the nation, detailing the Japanese surrender. The devastation caused by the bombs sped up the Japanese surrender, which was the best solution for all parties.
