For the past five days I have been in Hiroshima, Japan speaking at a conference on the 80th Anniversary of the horrific and unnecessary U.S. atomic bombing of the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. We have now travelled to Nagasaki to participate in an international conference there and the commemoration of the August 9 atomic bombing of that city.

Archived documents reveal that the Japanese government was going to surrender.  The decision of the Truman administration to go ahead and incinerate with atomic bombs 210,000 citizens of two Japanese cities as a warning to the Soviet Union was a war crime of the highest degree.
