Response to Editorial #6

The allies twisted the work of the world’s greatest minds! They had meant to create a new energy, not a new, extremely powerful weapon. Men like Einstein and Szilard will be crushed that their work was used to destroy over 110,000 lives. Still, I suppose it is a better scenario than if the Axis, or more specifically Hitler, had obtained it. They would’ve bombed London, then the US, then all the other tiny, insignificant countries into submission. So, in the end this use save lives in short term, about 890,000 to be exact. However, I believe in the long run these weapons will be used to wage war easily, so you can lay back and just bomb your enemies, never risking one of your countries lives! Truman was right, God I hope he was right, but I may never know. I have also received word that the Communists have stolen the plans, leading to a possible Capitalism VS Communism war. I do not know, but I hope that the Soviets are more reserved about the destruction held in their atoms than America…
