Fat Man

Tomorrow – August 6th – is an important anniversary for Americans. The question is, should we ‘celebrate’ actions that killed approximately 200,000 people, mostly civilians, in August 1945? It’s a complicated question.

I just watched the highly praised film, “Oppenheimer,” which got me musing about history, my own and America’s. 

Americans are no strangers to “times that try men's souls," to borrow a phrase from Thomas Paine.
