I don't think there was a debate about whether to use the atomic bomb on Japan. Once the bomb became available the U.S. gave the Japanese an opportunity to surrender or suffer awful destruction. They declined and, with many U.S. solders' lives in the balance, President Harry Truman gave the order to use the bomb.

Since then, there have been many morning after debates about whether we should have done it.

What else can I help you with?
