Take note, in 1950, the President of the US stated,
"The wears of the future would be one in which man could extinguish millions at one blow, demolish the great cities of the world, wipe out the cultural achievements of the past.....such war is not a possible policy for rational man" (Public Papers, 1953)
I agree, Mr. President,according to your own words, the atomic vaporization of the Japanese cities is the byproduct of an irrational decision.
Curiously, in the same year,1950,when asked if the atomic bomb would be used in North Korea/China against
civilian or military targets Truman responded,
"Its a matter that military people will decide, there has been always active consideration of its use" and he said he was not an military authority that passes on this things; he added that the military commander in the field will have charge of the use of the weapons was he always has.
Mr President,is the atomic bombing of Korea and China against civilian populations a "matter that military people will decide" or is it an irrational policy? and who ordered the atomic bomb to be dropped on Japan?
And imediatly after he added, "its a terrible weapon and
should not be used on innocent men,women and children..this happens when its used"
Are you talking seriously, Mr President? or is the bomb "merely another powerful weapon in the arsenal of righteousness"?
It's time to decide once and for all, Mr President, because a double standard implies two different treatments of the same thing.
