Hiroshima and Nagasaki were nothing like 9/11. Japan attacked the US first in an attacked depicted in the horrible Michael Bay flick, Pearl Harbor. (I had to get that in there for sake of relevance to the format war.) The US military weighed its options for ending the Pacific theater and nuking Japan won because the alternative was an estimated additional 1 million US soldiers dead. It also ended the war in a matter of days rather than dragging it on for potentially years. While 9/11 was about a radical group of Islamo-fascists that hate everything about America and what it stands for.
