Interesting as it happens only last night was watching the History Channel on just this subject.
A guy came on who said that if you plotted out worldwide deaths per year from warfare over time there is a PRECIPITOUS drop that occurs in 1945. The unavoidable conclusion is that the discovery of the A-bomb has saved lives!
I wonder if Obama has read these data and has a response?
It wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that Japan Surrendered on August 15th, would it?
I'm guessing more human beings died on August 6th and 9th 1945 than just about any otherday in History. The firebombings of Dresden and Tokyo went on for several days.
