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.
But isn't it a little crazy to treat the Germans and Japanese like
children who can't manage their only armies? It's a different world now.
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.
