Seriously though, I never thought of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki attacks as being ones of terrorism, but as you said, if you look a it as a tactic, they were. Still, if you look at it and consider technicalities, they weren't.
Either way, interesting observation, Mr. Sage. I never thought about it like that. I'll look into it and draw my own conclusions.
