Should the atomic bombs have been dropped?

Yes, I feel that the two atomic bombs, Little Boy and Fat Man should have been dropped in Japan.

Why? These bombs effectively put Japan out of the war and turn the tables on the Axis powers. Some people might say that it killed a lot of innocent lives. In both Hiroshima and Nagasaki respectively, there were about 166 000 and 80 000 deaths. However, I would like to point out that the US had intensely fire-bombed 67 Japanese cities, but they syill did not surrender. It was the last resorty that the US had to use the atomic bombs. Moreover, over 6.2 million Jews were being massacred by Hitler; arent these innocent lives too? The US took this decision because it was the last resort and it was too save millions of lives more.

Also, one may think that the US chose to bomb the most populated areas only to kill many innocent civilians, but this is ridiculous to anyone who has studied history. The two cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were chosen because they were industrialized and military ports. They could have bombed the capital Tokyo where millions of lives would be lost, but they chose millitary and industrialised ports so as to put the Japanese down as they would be left without resources.

In a nutshell, the atomic bomb shoould had been dropped as it was the way to save lives and stop the war.
