A couple of factual corrections. . .
" We talk of the killing of 6 millions civilians in the death camps in Europe(contrary to popular belief they were not all Jews)"
The actual total of people killed in the Holocaust is a little difficult to pin down. Most experts put the figure at around 13 million. Six million of them were Jews. The rest were political opponents of Hitler, people the 3rd Reich considered 'mentally defective', Communists, clergy, homosexuals, Gypsys, Russian POW's, etc.
Also, we did bomb Tokyo during the latter stages of WW2- quite extensively. Just not with nukes. The firebombing campaign burned out about 3/4 of Tokyo, and the total casualties from all the Tokyo bombing raids are thought to be higher than either of the A bombs dropped. Again, exact numbers are a bit difficult to come by.
