They took Kyoto off the list because one of the men in command had spent time there, and decided to bomb Nagasaki instead.
Of course, there were a number of those in the administartion who really didn't like Christians in general. The real reason for the targeting will probably never be known.

most moral people answer Yes, we should have dropped the bomb....

Sorry, but Kokura would have got the drop had the clouds not covered it when Fat Boy got there. It was the primary target.

So what, may I ask is the difference, between a bomb and a really big bomb?
IMO, nothing whatsoever, while we are about war.
