According to a book called Day One, I think, the bomb was dropped on Japan because the war had ended in Germany. The bomb originally was designed to use against the Germans, who were feared to have a similar weapon in the works. The war with Germany ended before the bomb was done. Several intellectuals, as I recall, urged the bomb be halted at this point, with no success. ========================================================================= | | | STARFISH (Janni Lee Simner) P72245JS@WUVMC.bitnet | | | ========================================================================= | "Until we meet again, let there be no regrets, no tears, no anxiety. | | Just go forward in all your beliefs, | | And prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine." | | --The Doctor to Susan | | "The Dalek Invasion of Earth" | =========================================================================
