Caught “Godzilla” and naturally, the A-bomb issue came up. Some people think there was something inevitable about the A-bomb drops. Nope. Not even clear if that was what really made Japan capitulate. Firebombing Japanese cities–paper and wood built–killed more people and truly was about as horrible as the A-bombs. In fact…given the total horror of WWII, those bombs, originally, just blended into the general awful genocidal wallpaper.
