I do like the article however, you need to check some facts about the atomic bomb
1. It was not a fission bomb, it just used the energy of spliting the atom, later there was a formed that used energy from spliting atoms to fuse two Hydrogen Ions. If we found out how to cause a chain fusing of rondom compunds the power would be awsome, stats, a single fusiing of hydrogen ions can power pitsburg for a month, however we do not no how to harnes it in a contrlolled environment with out using millions of dollars is in weapon grad plutonium.

2. Its not that the bomb killed so many people, its how effective it was. The fire bombings of Tokyo killed just as many people, with one difference, they used more than 600 planes, and for all Japan knew we could destroy every single one of their cities with one plane.

3 I'll give you that the weapons race was pretty world changing, however, the real reason they dropped the bomb was because if they did go through the ground attack, the causualities were estimated at over one million for the United states alone. It also allowed Japan to become the flourishing country it is now, the United states would lose one million, but Japan would loose twice as many, they didn't give, the won or died(if they could still fight back, they didn't know how much the Nukes actualy cost). this actualy reduced casualities on Japanese side

also all this info is from sources, I had to write a paper on the Atomic Bombings
