And, the war WAS because of Hitler...not the jewish part of it, but because he was taking over most of Europe by force. The Jewish angle came about later.
As far as the bomb not being justified..check how many lives were lost in Pearl Harbor and the Asian theater due to the Japanese war...Peace had been offered but was refused...twice. And no, the scientists had made a case for NOT useing their work for destruction..but the total knowledge of the after affects was NOT known...not until after the bomb had dropped and the "survivors" had such horrible diseases from the radation.
Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
--Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865)
the total knowledge wasn't there at the time.
