Harry Truman really had no choice but to order the atomic bombs be dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. To invade Japan would have taken years and cost countless lives. The dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki undoubtedly saved tens of thousands of American lives and probably saved Japanese lives, too. Americans should not feel guilty that our leaders used the tools necessary to end the bloodiest war in human history. FYI, my paternal grandfather's first cousin survived Pearl Harbor so I think the Japanese got exactly what they deserved. Napoleon was correct: WAR IS HELL. Considering the alternative, anyone who blames the United States for the dropping of the atomic bombs on Japan is morally bankrupt./rwa

Japan started the war. Having sowed the wind they have no right to complain when they reaped the whirlwind.
