Should Harry Truman Have Authorized the Dropping of the Atomic Bomb on Japan? 5

The decision to drop the bomb had already been made, while FDR was still alive. It would have been very difficult for Truman to stop this. In any case, yes, it was the right decision for the reasons Autz and irish outlined. The only good thing about any war is the end of it.

To quote the late physicist Freeman Dyson, "It would have taken a man with a will of iron to stop what was in motion."
