How is the bombing of the u. s & japan still relevant till today

The bombing of Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese which led te United States to World War II. So in order to get 'revenge' or get back at Japan was to bomb their famous city, Hiroshima and Nagasaki with an Atomic Bomb which killed over 200,000 of the people in those two cities combined.(FUN FACT: The atomic bomb was created by Einstein. )

The fallout from the Nagasaki and Hiroshima bombs still affects the lives of people there. There are cases of babies being born deformed as a result of radiation.

It still remains relevant because the question of ethics is still applied to it- was it right or wrong? Without it, the war would have gone on for another 12-18 months, meaning the loss of lives, but the atomic bomb was a brutal (albeit effective) way of bombing Japan into submission.

Herodotus taught that absolute right and wrong did exist.
