Dropping the atomic bomb was not an easy decision but I do no regret it one bit. The Japanese were never, going to surrender. Ever. They would fight to the last man. Interestingly, some historians have said that it was Russia’s declaration of war against Japan that really turned the tide. They declared in between the first and second bomb, I believe. Russia had some ocean territory it wanted from Japan. So I don’t agree with the covering the face in horror. It had to be done.
