Yes I would. The war ended in the European Theater only. It still raged on in the Pacific Theater. Japan refused to surrender since they were a very Imperialistic nation during WWII. Not too mention that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were military targets. We weren't targeting civilians.
Your argument is very weak because of the reason I mentioned earlier, the war was only over in Europe, and the United States was planning an invasion of the Japanese mainland beforehand. Truman decided to not risk the lives of more than 1 and a half million soldiers that would've been sent to their death if such an invasion occurred. Dropping an atomic bomb was a better solution since it wouldn't cost as many lives, even if it did kill hundreds of thousands of Japanese. If the United States Army did indeed invade Japan, it would have cost far more lives in the long run and make the war last well into the latter half of the 1940's.
Lastly, conservatives are more likely to start wars that have been provoked by other nations. Look throughout history. Hitler, he was a threat, he starts invading countries, he has to be stopped. Korean War, stop the spread of dangerous government idea's (communism). Vietnam War, same thing. War on Terror, prevent psychological maniacs from executing their crazy ideals. On top of that, al Qaeda made a deliberate attack on the United States first (9/11). They were asking for it.
Damn that was a long post.
