It was the best option at the time, so yes. I know blah blah it didn't save as many lives as it would have based on blah blah statistics, still the best option at the time
We *knew* that the war would end when we dropped them. People underestimate the massive amount of force and damage a nuke can do and what sort of statement that comes with it

Okinawa scared the hell out of the Americans from Truman down, they decided better Japanese lives than U.S. marines and soldiers. Not to mention we wanted to scare the Russians, of course they knew most of what we knew thanks to the socialists and fellow travelers in the Roosevelt administration and the Manhattan Project itself.

Seeing as how they got just as many of the jewish scientists as we did during/after WW2, of course they knew as much as we did...

Japan started the war and refused to surrender when they were beaten.
Had we not used the bombs, we could have saved tens of thousands of Japanese lives at the cost of thousands of American lives. Why should we make that tradeoff? We weren't responsible for the war and we weren't responsible for protecting Japanese lives.
They could have quit anytime. The fact that they didn't quit after Hiroshima is proof of just how irrational they were.

Harry Truman was not a liberal. A moderate, I'll grant you.
