On this happy day NEWS HACKS are debating why we're always the BAD GUYS. Atom-bombing an enemy, to be sure, is not the most morally comfortable of things. But we must consider: on a scale of relative evils, the two atom bombings pale to what Hitler did to millions of people he didn't like (or Tojo for that matter). We must also consider Hitler could have atom-bombed us, and today it's hardly likely people will be talking considerations of civilian casualties. And make no mistake: if we hadn't been first, somebody else might have been, with less doubting and conscience. And if atom-bombing Hiroshima and Nagasaki killed too many, wasn't it still a fraction of the millions who might have died in an outright invasion of Japan? NEWS HACKS will never be convinced, they siding with the forces of good and naivete and vapidity. In the end, Harry did the right thing.
