Dropping the atomic bomb

1. What factors have affected viewpoints on Truman's decision?
Whether the bombs were dropped just to see if it would work. The ethicalness of not telling the Japanese that the US had a nuclear weapon.

2. Do you think he made the right decision? Give your reasons.
I think that the Japanese should have been warned about the bomb. If they did not believe us, we could have dropped it in some remote part of Japan. If that did not work, we could have dropped it right over the emperor's head quarters. When we bombed Tokyo we encountered little resistance, so we might not encounter much resistance if we bombed the emperor.
