56. Let me ask you a hypothetical: Would it have been justified

to murder hundreds of thousands of Americans if it meant many thousands more would not die?

And the answer to your question, from my perspective, is that I don't believe it was necessary to use those bombs to save American lives. I don't believe killing civilians is ever easily justified. The line that it was in this case is too pat.
