  • @allanro28 Absolutly correct. Harsh decisions like this have to be made. This is why we need MEN like Harry S Truman in office. Thousands of American men would have died if this bomb had not been dropped. It was exactly what we needed to do.

    Harry Truman had to make the call, and take the blame. We are a better country because of Harry Truman. He was a great man. period.

  • President Truman did not die nearly broke. In fact, he was quite comfortable, having sold 254acres of his mother's property in Grandview. In his retirement, he lived many happy years, running his library and travelling with Bess. You can find all this information about this wonderful man in David McCullough's masterpiece,Truman.

  • He was a unique president but not a very effective one...and not a classy man because he engaged in bitter politcial name-calling.

  • He should've died by a nuclear bomb

  • @vitoduval died 1 later.

  • Lester B. Pearson former Canada Prime minister died 2 days later. Truman and Pearson made the UN what it is today.

  • we need more unbiased media.
