Re: Timely Publication (Off Topic)

President Truman, and military planners at the time, could hardly grasp the idea of a single bomb causing such great damage, not to mention the effects of lingering radiation. Shortly after the two bombs were dropped, certain high-ranking persons in the US military stated such weapons were not needed. Our temporary ally, the Russians, invaded Manchuria on 9 August 1945, creating additional problems for the Japanese. Today, apologists for the use of two atomic bombs in war and none since then, are still not convincing.


Best,
Ed
