107. We aren't ashamed for dropping the bomb. Nor should we be.

We ended a war that the Japanese began. It's not our shame. Japan had a choice to end the war. While the politicians on their side tried to negotiate a favorable peace, their military prepared to defend the island and continued to fight the war.

Japan was not defeated, but it should have surrendered sooner.
