Religion

The events around Hiroshima in 1945 matter because they are the only real evidence about the political impact of nuclear weapons. -The only battlefield experience with the "unique ability to coerce and deter." If you want to decide the matter based on facts, you must take Hiroshima into account. If you just want to believe in nuclear weapons, then I congratulate you on your faith and have nothing more to say. I understand the appeal of religion. But if you are interested in evidence, I think the new scholarship on Hiroshima requires a rethinking of nuclear weapons.
