Its my understanding that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were targeted because they were undamaged cities.

Read "Downfall". Increase your understanding. It won't take more than

You won't gain a lot of understanding on the newsgroups. Lots of
intelligent stuff is posted here, but you have to know the background
before you are able to judge which to believe.
