Evidence

Francis Mitsuo Tomosawa, a survivor of the attack on Hiroshima, says, "  I saw everyone helping each other. Though right after the bomb exploded, during the confusion and pain and suffering and dying, people's instincts told them to save themselves. People under the buildings would ask for help and the passersby couldn't hear the cry for help or they didn't stop for help. So, many people died by fire because nobody would help them. But after that, after 30 minutes or an hour, people came in from outside the city to help — all day and all night. I guess this showed the good part of human beings. Many people didn't eat or drink. Everyone tried to help each other within the city. This helping continued for weeks and months and years — until the city was rebuilt enough so that people could get on with their normal lives. Even by the time I left three years later, I still saw many people helping each other. But because of the radiation and the lack of medical supplies, people continued to die and we couldn't do anything to help them. Even the doctors couldn't do anything. We did our best, but it was still very frustrating.". He saw people die and suffer radiation poinson and nothing could be done about it. The United States had no right to put the Japanese people through experiences such as this one.

Kayoko Iwanaga says, "My young father remembers that his mother screamed and cried every day because of the terrible pain of the burning. He also told me that there were many fleas and worms all over her body." Kayoko's description of her family's pain and anguish shows the insensitive torture of innocent civilians.  The U.S. referred to the Japanese civilians as "collateral damage". The U.S. benefited from the bombing by observing and studying  the short and long term effects that each bomb had on the civilians.  In other words the Japanese were treated like "lab rats" in an experiment.  This is uncivilized and immoral human behavior.
