As it was the 60th anniverary of the dropping of the A-Bomb "Little Boy" by the US bomber the Enola Gay yesterday, which eventually brought around the end of WW2. Do you think the decision to drop the bomb was a good one or a bad one.

I think that it was a good decision as it brought about an end to a war which had cost many more lives than the dropping of the bomb had brought about. Who is to say that the entire population of Japan would not have been killed if they had not admitted defeat after the A-Bomb.
