As the original topic recedes into the distance...
The guys who built the bomb were not doing so with Japan in mind as a target.
What the military did with the bomb is their moral issue, not that of the scientists.
BTW, when you say " liked the way you wrote even if I have other values." who were you addressing?

Ah, sorry about that, the questioner, or more like the 'essayer' in this case
And you are both right and wrong saying "What the military did with the bomb is their moral issue, not that of the scientists."
If I remember right there were some scientists that refused to have anything to do with building them, no matter what the target would be. But I also state that it is very hard to lift yourself out of the current way of 'thinking', or mold. We are flock animals after all and our safety lies in conformity. That's why we have coined the name 'whistle blower' for those un-conforming ones, not that we might enjoy them as much if we are the ones conforming.
And to me the question of 'souls' do have a religious overtone?

Folks - Would anyone object too much if we terminate this thread? Is it going anywhere?
Thanks. Geez.
