1) We could have dropped the bomb in a lightly populated area to show the
Japanese that we had it and hopefully scared them into surrender. Note
that
Hiroshima and a couple of other cities were spared conventional bombing so
the effects of the A-bomb could be studied - rather cold blooded don't you
think?
Not even slightly. Truman did the right thing.




And if the Japanese ( or the Germans) rise again as a cruel and hostile
aggressor nations we will be back. And this time no more Mr. Nice Guy.
