| Its a very difficult situation. In Australia you were closer to Japan in the war and therefore suffered more than we did in Europe. Should the bomb have been dropped? With hindsight and knowing the ongoing effects of the radiation, then i want to say no. But knowing what would have been the alternative with a powerful and widespread bombing campaign, then yes it had to be dropped.
I am not sure the second bomb should have been dropped though.
