Yesterday, I watched this documentary on the history of the USA by famed director Oliver Stone ->

It cover some ideas on of the events leading to and the reasoning for dropping the atomic bombs, I recommend it.

IranRPCV: The bomb exploded nearly directly over the Urakami Cathedral at 11:02 a.m. Nagasaki was the most Christian city in Japan. The massive cathedral was the largest Christian church in the Orient.
williehoward: Nuclear or atomic?
jamiewatterson69: This was a very deserved retaliation to the Japanese for their attack on Pearl Harbour.
