"Once it had been tested, President Truman faced the decision as to  whether to use it. He did not like the idea, but he was persuaded that  it would shorten the war against Japan and save American lives. It is my  opinion that the use of this barbarous weapon at Hiroshima and Nagasaki  was of no material assistance in our war against Japan. The Japanese  were already defeated and ready to surrender because of the effective  sea blockade and the successful bombing with conventional weapons... 
My  own feeling was that in being the first to use it, we had adopted an  ethical standard common to the barbarians of the Dark Ages. I was not  taught to make wars in that fashion, and that wars cannot be won by  destroying women and children."
