Pro is free to argue that success could have been achieved without unconditional surrender. Con will present the argument that the other alternatives for the United States would not have been less catastrophic, and would have resulted in prolonging the resistence of Japan; leading to either a delayed; or avoided unconditional surrender of Japan. http://www.debate.org/debates/Hiroshima-and-Nagasaki-did-the-US-have-a-choice/1/comments/ 2011-07-12T13:56:31-08:00
