What people fail to understand is that the senior commanders figured and had briefed Truman to expect 1,000,000 dead and wounded on the allied side alone invading the Japanese home island. They had no estimate of Japanese casualties. Truman took that into consideration when he made the decision to drop the atomic bomb. What people are looking at is the fact that Japan did send out feelers to come to a negotiated end to the war. These people, taking into consideration the horror of nuclear warfare, think that we should have accepted that. They fail to realize that no one had any idea just what the atomic bomb would do nor did they fully understand the horrors of nuclear radiation. Even if we had not used the atomic bomb it STILL would have been developed and the world would have still been under nuclear threat. The facts are that even had we not used it we had it ready to go. The Russians were working on it and had spies in our nuclear bomb program who were feeding the Russians all the technical data they could. So the stand off in the cold war would still have happened and the nuclear arms race could not have been avoided.
