As awful event as it was, I've wondered what our history would have been


had it not been dropped. My thought is that if we and the USSR had built up a large number of bombs without seeing the horror of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, we might have stumbled into a nuclear war over Korea, or some other situation. It could still happen today. and I think we've gotten to this point by a lot of grace. (Consider the story of the USSR sub commander Vasili Arkhipoy who likely saved the world from a horrible ending.)
