Paige, yes we did need to drop atomic bombs on Japan, there is much evidence that Japan was developing atomic bombs to drop on the USA, even that Japan had detonated it's own test atomic bomb just days before we dropped ours. One thing that is beyond any doubt is that Japan was set on world domination and they used biological weapons to do this that took the lives of millions of people. The US was a target of those bio weapons and china was their test ground where people were still suffering from the bio weapon bacteria they dropped decades after the war was over. Dropping those bombs saved many times as many lives as they took. If we would have had to invade the Japanese mainland there would have been millions of casualties, most would have been Japanese civilians. I would how ever like to understand what you mean by experimental bomb dropped on Iraq that involved depleted uranium.
