The use of the atomic bomb was immoral but it was very necessary at the time. It was either drop it and cause japanese civilian casualities or go to war and lose possibly thousands of U.S. troops during the process. It was the only way to war was going to end without mass amounts of american casualities. They decided to attack us and when we gave them an ultimatium they chose to ignore it, so basically they brought it upon themselves.While some people believe the atomic bomb was a horrible thing it was a huge step in science for the America and the world. How do we know that if we hadn’t developed it first another nation wouldn’t have gotten control of it and unleashed on us first. It might be selfish and I do feel bad for saying it, but I think it’s better we got them before they got us. It is definitely scary to think that all these unstable democracies(Iran, N. Korea) have gotten control of the science needed to make such bombs. Even though most other countries have caught up with us in the science area, I think we are usually always one step ahead of somebody.
