   AlexanderOppenheimer, are you truly related to J. Robert Oppenheimer? I am doing a year-long report on him and would love to have one of relatives integrated into my report. Thanks!

   RodCornholio, you are of course, right. Such pomp and arrogance made me leave the scientific community. Either be a scientist or a politician, not both - even Einstein knew that mixing petty politics with science was a bad idea. The matter of the atomic bomb is not ethical, rather, it is a matter of the necessity of progression.

   The generals were the originators of the surrender offers, the negotiations were mediated by the Soviets who where the main allies of the US and UK at the time. The archives of the minutes of the talks have been available for study since the late 80s. You are repeating rumors that are not based in fact, but are commonly held myth, because they were published in lay press and were in Hollywood movies. Real "history" needs evidence.

   Mikebyrd. You really should research further into such matters before making such a claim. You might find such opinions in popular media and movies but they ignore the efforts for the last 10 months of the war by the Japanese to negotiate a surrender. The only sticking point was Washington's refusal to consider a surrender that included a promise to not execute the emperor. The negotiations were at a high level and mostly centered in Moscow. As it was, the emperor was not executed.

   Wow, over 8 minutes of academics sniffing each other's groins and sycophantic gluteal kissing before actually talking about the subject matter.

   A very interesting conference. Peter Sellars eloquently makes a case that moral questions surrounding the bomb have been taken from the general public for too long, and that the public opinion is now ready to debate them.
