I'm fascinated with WWII as well. Band of Brothers is one of my favorite films. The pacific as well.

In japan, we threatened to drop a 3rd bomb but we didn't have it. They didn't know that though. We hoped they wouldn't call our bluff and they didn't thankfully.
The world would be a different place today if we hadn't dropped those bombs.

Collateral damage is unfortunate but at times necessary. The Geneva Conventions and NATO wont let us do that now days, though in some areas it would aid greatly in the destruction of some terrorists organizations. Plus, in the middle of nowhere, Afghanniland there would be minimal collateral damage. Just my $.02.

Just as in WWII, kill a few to save many. Though the scale of few and many was much larger. Same concept.
