Yes I agree, if anyone is able to go to the Hiroshima peace museum they should. However I did find it a bit one sided, but not completely. But it does offer a ton of knowledge and facts. It also shows some of the horrible things that happened using models and pics. Its a much different feel actually being in the museum and also being only blocks away from the epicenter of the bomb. Its an eerie feeling, and cant compare to anything you look at over the internet. Now if you like this type of museum I would highly recommend the Kyoto peace museum it takes a very neutral approach. And didn't only focus on the dropping of the atomic bomb.
As far as everyone arguing if it was necessary continue to do so, everyone is entitled to their opinion. So I will give mine. It is always easier after the fact to debate whether of not you should or shouldn't have done something. Just like our current war. But in this case, during WWII its hard to say who was right and who was wrong. Especially back then. Back then both sides thought they were right. This is always the case during a war, each side believes they are correct. Thats the reason why they are in a war. You can argue all you want but it will not make the bomb un-drop. So there is no real sense in hating someone who had nothing to do with what happened during WWII.
