EXCUSE ME!!!!! The dropping of two atomic bombs is, without a doubt,
the most significant event in human history. The plague killed more
people, but did it really elicit changes? Not really. The last 50 years
have been under the shadow of the atom. It has affected policy in EVERY
nation across the globe, even countries like Tibet.
