Dr. C.E.W. Bean.Survive The ***** -- The atomic bomb has brought us, with perhaps mercifulfull speed, to the point at which we have to face up to ourselves, almost like men contemplating suicide.But I cannot see that use of the atomic bomb can be morally distinguished from the use of "blockbusters" or even of bayonets.I can understand those who condemn any form of inhumanity; that means total condemnation of war, because war involves inhumanity.Is it more human to destroy, conceivably, 20,000 people in a flash, or to do so by a system which carefully trains 10,000,000 boys to pierce the proper parts of other boys' throats or stomachs. December 21, 1949.
