Reading Response #3

The U.S Was Wrong which is written by Gar Alperovitz illustrates the reason why he thinks dropping atomic bomb to Japan was wrong. Actual, at the time before dropping the bomb, Japan Emperor had asked for peace, and President Truman has already been advised it. Moreover, Mr. Truman also been advised to keep the Japan Emperor. Consequently, atomic bomb was not needed at all. However, Mr. Churchill thought if the Russia army marches into Japan, they would dethrone the Japan Emperor. As a consequence, the leader of the other part of the American-British Combined Intelligence, Truman has decided to use atomic bomb. It not only confronts Japanese, but also confronts the Soviet for the postwar settlement. Gar’s argument really convinces me. He uses plenty of historic background and a lot of confidential which most people don’t know, to support his point of view. For example: though last article the U.S Was Right said that people can’t believe in Japanese who always do something contrary,this article use confidential, especially a intercepted message, to show readers that Japanese government is not trustless. So, Japan government surrender can be trust. All in all, the U.S Was Wrong really convinces me.
