That was very easily a huge mistake at the time.

It makes me wince to think of the ordinance they wasted on a relatively mundane target.

I can, however, understand why the atomic bomb was necessary. War wise.

Hell, more importantly it opened eyes and minds to real horror. Suddenly, the war we knew but years before as the vaguely 'honourable' exchange of lives for causes became the terror that had evolved in WW1 and WW2. That huge amounts of life were blinked out of existance.

I agree with you and am almost glad 'we' did it then.

We would be insane to make the same mistake twice.

Yhorian.
