Good post, although I would ask the author if any query into using the A-Bomb by a generation far removed from WWII could ever be justified? IMHO, far less so, than the prudent decisions of a nation facing far more direct consequences.

A friend of mine recently raised the question of why those opposed to the use of the bomb have to rely on assumptions, suggestions and inferences to support their arguments ... while those who support it can just cite primary/original-source material.
