I just watched a Waltons episode that reminded me of FDR's death prior to the WWII bombs on Japan. If he had lived, do you think the bombing still would have happened?  The mind is a weird and mysterious place

Yes. The Manhattan Project started already in 1942. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan_Project Today? Don't think so. http://thebulletin.org/mini-nukes-still-bad-choice-united-states10693?platform=hootsuite The Pentagon has no military requirement for the board’s cryptically-named “tailored nuclear option for limited use.†The military understands better than anyone the danger and unpredictability of using nuclear weapons. The military also understands how unlikely it is that any use of nuclear weapons against a nuclear-armed nation would remain “limited.†That is why the vast majority of so-called “tactical†nuclear weapons have been retired from service.
