N Korea, what's the real story?

[Charles]

Truman did the right thing by dropping the 2 A-bombs on Japan. He saved countless lives on both sides by doing so. And can you imagine how the American public would have felt once they found out the Truman had the means to end the war in Japan and continues with an invasion?

The Korean War was different. By then, the Soviets had atomic weapons, and there was a genuine fear that should we use them on Communist China, we may have drawn the Soviets into the conflict.

Now I don't know if Truman did the right thing, or the wrong thing, but he did do something. He did what he thought was best, and that's all you can ask from anyone.
