WWII/ Connection Across Time

Once the United States got involved in WWII due to the attacks on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese, we came in with a vengeance. With the attack on Pearl Harbor and the realization of all the things that Hitler was doing to the the Jews, the United States was not going to let WWII continue on the path that it was going on. Since the war was moving down a very destructive path something had to be done quickly and powerfully, but what could stop one of the most powerful dictators and his allies? The United States had the answer to this problem in the form of the atomic bomb. Many people believe that this was not the best way to end the war. To these people I must ask, how would you propose we should have ended the war in a way that would have caused fear in Hitler and any dictator to come? Many people do not know how to answer this question, they just think that the atomic bomb was not the right way to do it. I think that we made the right decision in dropping the atomic bombs on Nagasaki and Hirshima because it helped to create a presence in the world that the United States is not someone to mess with. Unfortunately some countries did not get the memo about how powerful the United States is and tried to bring our country down on 9/11. Just like when Japan attacked us we did not sit around and take the attacks we immediately rallied and fought back against the terrorists and we are re-establishing our complete and udder destruction policy towards any country that attacks us or our allies.
