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. The Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombing are two greatly important milestones in the United States history, and the essay “The Biggest Decision: Why We Had to Drop the Bomb,” by Robert James Maddox is a perfect essay to be read over and discussed in a class like this.
I couldn’t agree better with Adam when he states and I quote, “America” is not an image it is a concept. That concept is only strengthened by our pulling together as a team. If you want to kill us, leave us alone we will do it by ourselves. If u want to make us stronger, attack and we unite.” On 9/11 we definitely became united and showed that we were a force to be reckoned with. This story is one that I would definitely recommend to others.
Paul Fussell begins “Thank God for the Atom Bomb” with a quote from an advertisement: “In life, experience is the great teacher” (13). Throughout the paper, he argues that experience is necessary in order to make informed, pragmatic decisions. Accordingly, he uses ad hominem attacks on people who do not have experience with war yet still preferred invading Japan to dropping the atom bomb. He explains that using the atom bomb was necessary because Japan was not going to surrender – Japan’s war minister wanted to “fight to the bitter end, defending the main islands with the same techniques and tenacity employed at Iwo and Okinawa” (Fussell, 22), and after the Emperor did surrender following the atom bombs being dropped, many soldiers committed suicide because of the dishonor (Fussell, 23) – and an invasion could have had 1,000,000 American casualties (Fussell, 15). The ad hominem attacks are not necessary to support his argument that dropping the bomb was the right decision because he refutes opponents’ arguments before resorting to ad hominem, so the ad hominem must have a different purpose altogether.

FDR Leadership During World War II, President Roosevelt took office after Hoover which is known as our worst President, and Roosevelt showed The United States great leadership through the war. President Roosevelt led The United States through two major crisis: The Great Depression and World War II. On March 11, 1941 Roosevelt had Congress pass the Lend-Lease Act, which provided Britain and Russia with arms via lease but with no conditions for repayment. As the president said, "When your neighbor's house is on fire, one does not haggle over the price to put it out, the hose is readily loaned and the price is figured later." FDR is considered the number one president of these United States and was in office longer than any other president

Unlike in the 19th century during the most devastatingly dangerous earthquake that occurred on this New Madrid Fault zone, no one back then was fully aware of the dangers of living in this area.
After the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, these numbers, of course, soared even higher, to 91 percent in both cases. So because not only the government felt we needed more security, the general population did as well, we enacted laws such as the Patriot Act. The entire purpose of laws such as the patriot act and other new security measures is to catch terrorists before they can kill people. Because of this, the measures and laws only go as far as the government feels is needed to catch a terrorist. If you have nothing to hide, and you’re not planning anything illegal, none of the new security measures should matter.
