Precisely, we weren't there and don't know the horrors that were being dealt with by everyone. Yes, the bomb was a terrible thing and Yes, we used it. Did it shorten the war, most likely. In doing so did it save lives, perhaps. I think Truman made the best decision based upon the information available at the time. That is really all that can be asked of anyone.
