"Would I have approved of the dropping of the atom bomb on japan? I dont think so,"

It was generally believed then that several hundreed thousand american soldiers would have died. Revisionsists have tinkered with the numbers since then but the toll to take the japanese islands would have been high regardless. The better argument would be whether we should have accepted limited surrender, not unconditional. These things are more complex than you make them out to be.
