pbs' Veterans Day Entry

I don't know how intellectually or emotionally satisfying uttering, "Happy Veterans Day" can be. It's a day meant for reflection. A day to to remember lives lost, saved, and broken, in the name of war. Hardly a reason for cheer.

It is in that spirit of reflection that I offer you a reading assignment on this the year of the sixtieth anniversary of the dropping of the only two true nuclear weapons ever used against fellow human beings during wartime.

The Bulletin of The Atomic Scientists offers three essays on their website. Each of the three attempts to answer different questions about the use of the A-bomb. They are all relatively short, and all are thought provoking.

I bid you peace.
