Reply #140: An alternate universe [View All]

[Silverhair]

If we accept the suggestions of some quantum physicists, there exists an alternate universe where Truman decided not to drop the bomb, and everything proceeded logically from that point on.

In that universe we had to invade & conqueor. We did at terrible cost in lives to both sides. It became an actualy genocidal war.
It ended in 1947.

Somewhere, in that alternate univere, there is a DU message board, and the same people that are howling about how terrible it was for to have dropped the bomb are howling about how terrible it was to have not put a quick end to the war, and to have saved all those lives.
