Even New York Times ran an article with the headline “NO RADIOACTIVITY IN HIROSHIMA RUIN,” citing only military sources and ignoring eyewitness accounts of radiation sickness
2.The most destructive bombing event of WWII was neither Hiroshima nor Nagasaki. It was the Operation Meetinghouse, the American firebombing of Tokyo

I found this topic very interesting. I already knew a little bit about the bombing but after researching it I know a lot more. Before I hadn't a clue even the names of the places in Japan that were bombed and now I know. I am glad I researched the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki because now if someone asks me about it I have something to tell them.

If I we're President Truman, I as well would have decided to use atomic weapons in order to defeat Japan. This is because Japan was not surrendering, no matter what America did they stayed strong. Also atomic weapons started being the only option left. I know that it will cause a lot of destruction but that's what mission trips are for. I would then send people to help clean up and fix Japan. It was the right decision and it had a good outcome, and I probably would have done the same.
