Read a paragraph from an essay supporting Truman's decision to use the atomic bomb against Japan. [1] Many people have argued that nothing could justify the president's use of the atomic bomb because it killed so many innocent civilians. [2] Truman himself refused to drop a third atomic bomb on Japan because he was horrified by the death and devastation it had caused.
