Eh, enough bickering, gents. Whaddya think?

One thing that has not been answered is what the Allies (US in this case) should have done instead of dropping the bomb. This goes out to the people who think it was not needed.

It's one thing to think that nukes are bad, it's another to propose an alternative that would accomplish the same end to the war with fewer deaths.

BTW, what everyone danced around in this thread was the question of whether dropping the bomb was right and moral. The answer to that question is the most important and ties into the question about alternatives.
