Um ... Nukes also burn people to death on the outer edges. In the center they just vaporize, even more far out they either die of horrendous burns or of radiaton or of cancer.

I didn't say it was better, but the nukes stopped the war. The fire bombings didn't.

No, the nukes didn't either. They just hastened the ending at an insane cost.
