I guess I'm wondering why you're objecting so strenuously.
Eisenhower spent many months agonizing over whether to drop the bomb and finally decided to do it.
Historians have been arguing for 60 years on the right and wrong of dropping the bomb.
So naturally, people have come to conclusions.
Were you expecting them all to wait for SLM3 to show up and make the final decision?
Personally, I'm with the majority on this one. Dropping the bomb was the least worst end to a terrible war.
If you don't agree, that's fine, but objecting to people having a definative opinion on this seems a bit foolish, IMO.
