Tibbets was only doing his job at a time of absolute hatred between belligerents. If a single plane with a single atomic bomb razed the city of Hiroshima alone, we must not forget that thousands of tons of bombs razed a much larger Tokyo with incendiary bombs and that 130 German cities were razed too under thousands of tons of bombs with much more destruction...
