Rev. Wright falls into a common trap. He makes a generational judgement on historical figures.

Given the context of the time, dropping the atomic bombs on the Japanese was absolutely the right thing to do. It probably saved lives over time.

Even after the two bomb drops there were factions in the Japanese Army/government that wanted to continue the war.

And it shocked the Japanese out of their very militant way of doing things. Note that they are a great ally of ours now.
