Ya but do the ends truly justify the means? I highly doubt it, the use of the bomb was a terrible waste of civilian life. It could have backfired just as easily, other nations could have used the united states bombing to justify their own, would the US surrender if the war was brought to them and they found themselves overwhelmed? probably not. they would fight every last one of them. so why not nuke them? they proved themselves that it is the best way to force a country into submission.
The use of the A-Bomb was a very questionable thing to do, you may or may not agree with it, personaly i do not agree they should ever be used.
The Bombing seemed like a good idea saving thousands of american soldiers but... really it destroyed cities and forever radiated the land. people in and around Hiroshima are dying of many diseases.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bomb attacks
The 1945 US-bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki have been marked among the worst nuclear disasters in history. These two Japanese cities were the targets of two atomic bombs during the Second World War, the first atomic bombs ever to be used in warfare. A total of 110,000 to 150,000 people were killed immediately after bombing,125,000 to 175,000 have died since, and many are still dying from the effects.
Hiroshima was bombed first, on August 6 at 8:15 a.m., by US Air Force B-29 bomber Enola Gay. A single atomic bomb was dropped in the center of the city, immediately killing 70,000 to 80,000 people, injuring an estimated 70,000, and destroying half of the cityÕs structures. Within five years, an estimated 75,000 to 125,000 more had died, of cancer, radiation sickness, and other bomb-related causes. In the decades that followed, tens of thousands more died from serious illness, including thousands of children unborn at the time of the bombing. Before the bombing Hiroshima was a city of 350,000 people.
The bombing of Nagasaki occurred only three days later, on August 9. The bomb immediately killed 40,000 to 70,000 people, injured a similar number, and also destroyed half of the cityÕs structures. Within five years, up to 100,000 people died from illness and other bomb-related causes. And like Hiroshima, tens of thousands died in the decades that followed. Prior to the bombing, Nagasaki was a city of 230,000 people.
In both cities, people are still feeling the nuclear effects of the bombings. Survivors and their children are still dying of deformities, cancer, and other radiation illnesses.
