That seemed pretty obvious to me without the "myth".
We nuked Japan because we felt that in doing so we would avoid even
greater casualties by ending the war quickly. The question was: if the
US is allowed to invoke such reasoning in order to justify nuclear
attacks against civilians, why shouldn't any other country be allowed
to use similar reasoning to nuke two US cities?
