Many scientists and some officials opposed the use of atomic weapons on moral grounds, given that it would kill many civilians as collateral damage. Their concerns were borne out by the deaths of tens of thousands in the bombings of August 6th and August 9.
At the end of World War II, few questioned Truman's decision to drop the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Most Americans accepted the obvious reasoning: the atomic bombings brought the war to a more timely end. They did not have a problem with over one hundred thousand of the enemy being killed. After all, the Japanese attacked America, and not the other way around. In later years, however, many have begun to question the conventional wisdom of "Truman was saving lives," putting forth theories of their own. However, when one examines the issue with great attention to the results of the atomic bombings and compares these results with possible alternatives to using said bombs, the line between truth and fiction begins to clear. Truman's decision to use the atomic bomb on Japan was for the purpose of saving lives and ending the war quickly in order to prevent a disastrous land invasion.

Does North Korea have gun Hiroshima or implosion Nagasaki type atomic bombs?
There is no reliable public information on North Korean nuclear weapons designs. However I feel it is reasonable to assume that they have only implosion type atomic bombs as these require much smaller quantities of fissile material. These bombs can use either Uranium, Plutonium, or both as the fissile material.

That the Americans did the right thing bombing haroshima?
It's more of an opinion question but i feel that they did. An argument to support that is that the United States had two option's, either bomb Hiroshima & Nagasaki, or invade Tokyo to find swarms of Japanese troops in the city and risk 500,000 allied troops, more than half American. From Truman's stand point at that time, and probably today he would drop the bombs to hurt enemy civilians and soldiers rather than our own. Also, it is argued that the bombs shouldn't have been dropped because we gave no warning but if you think back, the Japanese gave us no warning when they attacked Pearl Harbor. On the other hand, some say we should not have dropped the bombs. There were many innocent lives lost immediately and more later on due to radiation and burns. Some say we only were thinking of ourselves and the here and now rather than the future consequences.
