You sit here so comfortable in 2008, cherry-pick history and fantasize about a different ending to the horrors of WWII.

That's OK but if you were on a ship bound for Japan in August 1945, you would have a different set of memories.

I suggest you really educate yourself about that event by locating a few soldiers, sailors, and marines who were on such ships and ask them how they felt about Truman dropping the bomb.
