 From what I've heard the guys who were going to have to invade Japan 
thought the bombing was a good idea & others were working on 
splitting the atom at the time. Technology is a lot like Pandora's Box.

How's the world different? Smaller maybe?
FWIW there are still people around who remember what Japan & Germany 
did in the years between 1900 and 1945, people who still have 
nightmares over it.

I do know what's different now! We are!
We just finished invading two nations half way around the world and 
we are holding secret prisoners.

When Benjamin Franklin was leaving Constitution Hall, the gathered crowds
wanted to know what kind of government the framers of the Constitution had
given them. His reply: "A Republic, if you can keep it."
