When president Truman decided to use the atomic bomb against the Japanese, no one knew exactly what the effects would be. Knowing what we know now, do you think the atomic bomb should ever be used again? Why or why not?

I believe Truman used the bomb to show off what the US had. With the statement people think he was in the right and the wrong to do it. The question is really depended upon people's opinions but I don't think the US would use one like it anytime soon due to if we do it could turn to nuclear war.

Answer: Truman stated that his decision to drop the bomb was purely military. Truman believed that the bombs saved Japanese lives as well as its part of their culture to not surrender. Personally I feel I was also a show of power, almost a warning to the other countrys what the US could do.

As for using the bomb again, i'd say it best if we don't. with other countrys now having atomic bombs as well, the use of one could lead to an atomic war which could wipe out everything
