for myself, i wish they'd found a way to demonstrate it without landing it on top of a city full of women and children.
innocence is important. if such a bomb had been dropped by the war's losers, methinks it would have been treated as a war crime.
in general, i am a humanist. american lives aren't the only ones that are valuable.
on the other hand, i will also admit that if i was faced with a choice along those lines that affected my family, i'd be willing to do anything including flying the dang plane over hiroshima.
so i don't have it in me to rise above the fray. that is easier to do after the event.
the amygdala rules all.
