Some questions will always be debatable, and of course there was tremendous harm inflicted on Japan by the atomic bombs. but there were good strategic reasons for Truman to use them against Japan at the close of the war. He needed to bring the war to a rapid conclusion because the USSR had just declared war on Japan and was beginning to occupy Japanese islands (there is one small Japanese island that Russia still occupies to this day, in the year 2010) and given the Russian history of taking over Eastern Europe, the US did not want to see the same thing happen to Japan.
Criticism for having used it
President Truman
If you are referring to the nuclear bomb, it was dropped over Japan in world war 2 and not the cold war. Those bombs were authorized by President Truman.
My opinion is, Truman should have used the atomic bomb. If he hadn't the war would have continued, and more would have died. Also I think that at one point the Axis would have dropped a atomic bomb on an allied city, possibly killing more then at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
He ordered the atomic bombs dropped over Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This is how he showed the atomic bombs.
It was dropped by the United States by orders of President Truman over Hiroshima, Japan.
