Truman agonized over the decision for weeks before, and the remainder of his life after. It was not done as Wright suggests on some whim with blood lust as the motive.
but Foxnews lied because Wright heard some two bit former ambassedor say the words "Chickens come home to roost".

We were in a war.
We had been attacked by Japan.
The Japanese had vowed to fight to the death.
An invasion of Japan with a slow complete ground military operation and occupation was considered and the loss in both American and Japanese lives was considered.
The use of the Bomb was an option which saved many lives --both Japanese and American.
