JAPAN: Hiroshima and the Bomb
" I have followed revisionist literature on our war with Japan and noted
with interest that, while Hiroshima was welcomed by some [Americans?],
Nagasaki was not. The Japanese didn't even have time to reflect between
the first and the second bomb and might have surrendered before the second
bomb was dropped. The cynics of the bombing seemed to indicate that the
second bomb was dropped to try out a totally different bomb. Some Japanese
seemed to question as to why, if we had the bomb, is wasn't dropped on
Germany first."
