August 6, eighty years ago, the world’s first atomic bomb detonated over Hiroshima, Japan

“What about Just War theory and the Christian ethic of war? The Allies clearly had just cause for the war against Japan. Col. Paul Tibbets, captain of the Enola Gay, stated the case himself: ‘I viewed my mission as one to save lives. I didn’t bomb Pearl Harbor. I didn’t start the war. But I was going to finish it.’” - Al Mohler
