It's not about two bombings. Yes, the Tokyo bombing was a ghoulish war crime. Obviously.

But nukes as a weapon are fundamentally different. A single airplane can level a city. A single submarine can destroy a country. I'm sorry, but they are a Pandora's box that was opened and changed the course of the world afterwards.
