I pretty much agree with you on the Harry Truman comment. Of course he was sorry he did it. I wouldn't call it genocide, but if he had not done it the Japanese would NEVER have surrendered, if they knew we only had 2 bombs , they would have kept fighting. Harry was saying he would take the heat , but a stiff drink dulls the bad feelings.
