rmr said:The sole purpose for droppinbg the bomb on hiroshima was to finish the
war quickly?If that was the case why not drop it on some uninhabited island? Then
tell the japanese that tokyo was next ? It would have saved many lives
with exactly the same effect.Even if it was necessary to anihilate hiroshima for the shock value,
why was nagasaki necessay? The japanese would have surrendered anyway.
Ray, you know nothing about it. They were not going to surrender.
Death was preferable to losing to them, and they were willing to die.
Dropping it on an empty desert island would have done nothing, they
needed to see the horror of it all firsthand before they'd surrender.

"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and
more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day
the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the
White House will be adorned by a downright moron."

but George W. Bush has managed to overcome that presumption."
