Should President Obama apologize for the United States dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima or Nagasaki?
That's true. Do you think that the US should have done something else to end the war?
There were certainly alternative options available, such as continued conventional bombing or a ground invasion of Japan. However, both of these options likely would have resulted in a significant loss of American lives and would have prolonged the war. The decision to use atomic bombs was not made lightly, and it's hard to say if any other approach would have been more effective or less costly.
