Way to contridict yourself their chief.

I do think it was the right decision, however I do believe that part of the reason it was dropped was to intimidate the Soviet Union at the time, which is kind of a ridiculous reason.

Despite the deaths, it was good that it happened because it showed the possible destruction that could happen to any countries that used it on each other, and really forced cooperation amongst the more powerful countries of the world... that things between powerful nations can't be settled with war as it was in the past, but instead negotiations and compromises. There was an arms race during the Cold War between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, but the known destruction of these weapons led to numerous treaties and agreements to first place caps on nuclear weapons and then eventually reduce the amount of weapons each country had.
