After multiple ideas along with deep thought, Truman along with the chiefs decided the most efficient, least costly and less bloody approach would to be dropping the atomic bombs on the Japanese home land. The essay states “evidence points to the conclusion that he acted for the reason he said he did: to end a bloody war that would have become even bloodier had invasion proved necessary” pg 175 Readings in United States History. The writer’s purpose of this essay is to educate the readers about the difficulty of this decision. I believe the writer did a fine job explaining the whole process.

Ironically, that same day of the raid on Pearl Harbor; United States and Japanese diplomats, Nomura and Kurusu were discussing Japan's moves in Southeast Asia.

The fact that U.S. and Japanese diplomats were discussing war efforts amidst the bombing preparations, made possible a very sneaky attack for the Japanese aircrafts to launch. However, Generals of the Japanese aircrafts soon regretted their actions. Admiral Isoruku Yamamoto stated "I fear we will awaken a sleeping giant".

In addition, he influenced a wide range of audience by using a narrative approach telling the story of America in general and Selma in particular. The speech’s significance is apparent in the good choice of place (Edmund Pettus Bridge) and time (50th anniversary).
