It's one of those troubling necessary evils in history. Remember Pearl Harbor and that the Japanese were seeking to ravage the United States. If the war had continued, Japan would have resorted to something worse. We had to bring things to an end. It's intersting to note that several days prior, US planes had dropped thousands of flyers over the two cities warning them of what was coming. It was no suprise.  |

I think we did the right thing by dropping the first bomb, but I have trouble understanding why we dropped the second one. After the first bomb the Japanese still did not surrender right away, but I think given a little more time they may have done so....Kelly  |

Drastic times call for drastic measures. And it ended the war..so I think it was a good idea.  |

Europe was already won. Japan was near defeat. The bomb wasn't necessary to winning the war, but it did ensure that less Ally troops died. Not that lives on that side of the world are less valuable than lives here, but that is the nature of war. It has little to do with who is right or wrong, rather who has the most men standing at the end. The winners write the history. ~ Chooselife  |

They should have dropped a half dozen more. Than told Stalin we are going to keep Eastern Europe capitalist. Any arguments? Hugo |
