Answer:
Truman did have a tough decision to make, but out of the interest of the American people, I believe that he had put the sake of American lives over Japanese lives. It would make sense obviously because the country is at war with Japan. Any American president in that situation would choose American lives over Japanese. Does this mean the decision was a good one? Not necessarily, it's still being debated and for good reasons. Yes, Truman had the decision not to bomb Japan but it was inevitable. Again, it does not justify his decision. So yes people should judge his decision.
