I'm not sure how I feel about nuclear weapons. It's a tough thing to argue over. They definately shouldn't be in the wrong hands, like Iran and North Korea. As far has bombing Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Well, put yourself in Eisenhower's position. 1.) Use nuclear bombs 2.) Do a ground invasion. There were already sooo many US lives lost I would probably have gone with the bombs. I know lots of Japanese people died, but think of it this way. A lot of US troops AND Japanese people would have died with a ground invasion, whereas with the bombs not many US troops die. I know that may sound selfish, but with the bombs less people lose their lives. Still though, I like the quote from Einstein when talking about the atom bombs- "Had I known what this technology would be used for, I would have rather have been a watchmaker."
