Atomic Bomb?

Before the end of World War Two, US dropped their newly invented atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Causing major damage to the cities in Japan, also producing a large amount of death and casualties not only people disintegrated, they suffer from radiation and cancer. Here is the question, was dropping the atomic bomb a wise or unwise decision? I believe that this is a complex question, and the possibility is just greater than we can imagine.

Firstly, you can’t lean on either side of the war. There wasn’t enough time for the Japanese to reply what the US said. If the US had giving the Japanese more time, none of this would have happened. Also killing innocents in Hiroshima and Nagasaki is just inhuman, the people in the city have done nothing and they have to suffer the war effect.

In contrast, the USA should have think before the dropped it and ask the Japanese for one last reply, perhaps there could be a better solution than dropping the atomic bomb. They have never thought about the possibilities that could happen, one reason they dropped it was because they wanted to demonstrate the power of the bomb. Not only it was a stupid idea, it was never a great plan in the first place.

In conclusion, I believe that this question cannot be answer under conditions that we do not know. There are just too many possibilities to list before we can drop the bomb. In addition, we should never have invented the bomb in the first place.
