Anniversary of the Hiroshima Bombing

[Wakie]

War is always ugly and should be avoided.  However, the use of the Atomic bomb on Nagasaki was absolutely necessary.  Even after its use the Japanese still hesitated in their surrender.  Some of their military leaders tried to stage a coup to prevent a surrender.  I would be willing to accept an argument that we could have waited a little longer before the Hiroshima bombing, but ultimately it was probably necessary.
