padisha emperor said:well, this guy in his interview meant :
Truman SENT the ultimatum july the 26th.
ok.
But july the 25th, so one day BEFORE, he gave the order "use the bomb as soon it would be operational". So he wanted all the same to use the bomb, even if he didn't know the japanese answer (he didn't know it because he didn't send it...it would be sent one day AFTER)
The order was given without care about the japanese answer, because it was given BEFORE the send of the ultimatum.
If you are saying that the bombs were dropped for more than one reason, I would agree with you.If Japan had tried to deal with it's concerns regarding US Asian policies by diplomacy instead of attacking Pearl Harbor et el, we may have never used it on an enemy.
