General - A Moral War? - View Post

A couple thoughts on the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs. Aside from the speculative outcome of the pacific war, it demonstrated the terrible power of nuclear weapons to the world. I wonder if the world would have been less reluctant to use nuclear weapons if we had not seen the horrifying outcome of such weapons. The first nuclear strike might have simply been delayed to a time when larger bombs had been designed and more people had them.

I wonder if the cold war might not have been so cold if Hiroshima hadn't scared the pants off of everybody.
