Bombs Waste Lives Bombs sent to Japan Unnecessary killing Innocent lives lost Why Not Peace? The U.S. at war with Japan. Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki- Bombed. Thousands of people killed. Families wiped away in a flash of light. Or worse, by suffering from the poison. Were the children responsible for the war? No, but they paid the price. By giving their lives. Why did the American military use atomic bombs? To prove that they can. Why could they not find peace? Resolve issues with words. Talk and work it out as diplomats. War makes innocent civilians suffer. Instead, we should have peace.
