One way to show that you’ve really thought about an issue is to state an opposing point of view and then explain why yours is still the best one. Strengthen your argument by explaining why you disagree with a specific claim from the opposite point of view. Finally, restate your position on dropping the bomb and tell President Truman what you want him to do. Close by signing your letter.

There is no doubt that many civilian lives will be lost should we decide to drop the A-bomb. Sadly, many civilian lives will be lost if we are forced to invade Japan, including many more American lives. We’ve already lost over 100,000 soldiers on the islands of Okinawa, Iwo Jima—and the other battles in the Pacific Theater. Invading the Japanese homeland will be a bloodbath in comparison.

This is a society that is dedicated to protecting their Emperor at any cost, and many are willing to give their own lives in the process. We should not have to sacrifice the lives of any more Americans when a quick, decisive solution is at our fingertips. If they refuse to accept our surrender offer, we have no other choice than to drop the bomb, Mr. President.
