3/27 For those who supported the use of atomic weapon on Japan back in WW2. Would you support the use of atomic bomb for Bagdad? Bagdad has a lot more military value than Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined, and it can save lives and end the war more quickly. \_ No. Army generals are estimating that the US casualties in this war will be between 2000 and 3000 people. This hardly justifies the use of a nuclear bomb in such a densely populated city as Bagdad. Imagine all the negative PR US would get around the world. I don't know the Japan estimates but my guess the US could easily loose tens if not hundreds of thousands soldiers in Japan. Moreover, there is no need anymore to showcase the nuclear bomb to the world (and especially the Soviets) now that everyone knows the power of nuclear weapons and the Soviet threat has also diminished. |
