Dear Daily Mirror,
If the
Americans will be using nuclear power against the Japanese, then I am compelled to
say that the Japanese already have their fate sealed. The United States were
triumphant over Iwo Jima and Okinawa only months earlier, which led them
straight to Japan itself. It is either back down or die for the Japanese,
whether it is death by bomb or death by troops, they will fall. However,
nuclear weapons could alter our nature, and cause the new world’s leaders to
become corrupt with power. This has become a very dangerous idea to toy with. I
will be meeting with the Allies’ leaders and we shall discuss this weapon as
well as the surrender of Japan.
–Winston Churchill
