The Case for the Atom Bomb Doesn't Persuade
Andrew Roberts argues that the U.S. was justified in bombing Japan because doing so ended the war more quickly and with fewer casualties than if the war had been fought to a conclusion by conventional weaponry ('The Case for the Atom Bomb, 80 Years Later,' Houses of Worship, Aug. 8). Yet the legitimate moral objective of ending the war says nothing about the morality of the means chosen to achieve that end. The bombing of Hiroshima on Aug. 6, 1945, and Nagasaki three days later, was, on any application of just-war principles, immoral. That is partially because the civilian deaths and casualties were significantly out of proportion to military casualties, but principally because the means used were deliberately intended to cause the death and injury of tens of thousands of civilians.

Readers Debate Blinken on a Palestinian State
Former Secretary of State Antony Blinken would like there to be a Palestinian state that lives in peace with Israel. So would I. But on the showing of the past century, this is a little like wishing that tigers would become house pets. Mr. Blinken is right in his op-ed 'Recognizing a Palestinian State Is a Rebuke to Hamas' (Aug. 12) that the current efforts by pious Western leaders to punish Israel by calling for a Palestinian state are premature and harmful. But the first step has to be a competent non-Palestinian Arab authority that will take over Gaza from Hamas and show that it can coexist with the Jewish state, as Egypt and Jordan have managed in recent decades.
