Our economy is now a service economy with most public (tax) money going to the Military Industrial Complex. Our economy is now DEPENDENT on the Military Industrial Complex, and that comes close to the definition of classical fascism. It doesn’t compare.

When Germany surrendered and it became clear that they were nowhere near a workable bomb, the American project was almost complete, and momentum carried them through to completion. There's a lot of historical controversy about the motives behind the use of the bombs on Japan, but the implied threat against the Soviet Union is certainly one of them. In any case, that's the way Stalin interpreted it. The Manhattan Project was aimed at developing a bomb in competition with the one the Americans and Brits were sure the Germans were building.

Actually, the U.S. economy has grown for 23 successive quarters, according to the most recent figures from the Bureau of Economic Analysis. And when preliminary figures on gross domestic product for July, August and September are released later this month, the official total is expected to reach 24.

That's why we made certain the second nuke was to the side of Japan that Russia would have been more likely to reach shores of. It could have been done without affecting a city. We could have dropped the bomb somewhere that we could have told the Japanese to watch. They would have understood the message. But, as Donald Rumsfeld would say of Afghanistan, "There's no good targets." Why use ordinance unless you have a body count to go with it? The scientists who helped make the bombs thought it should be considered a war crime to actually use them. The idea was develop a state of engagement and end wars over resources, which is what WW1 and WW2 were in essence. With such powerful weapons mankind would be better motivated to put aside differences and work to a common good. The history shat dubya upon the edifice of American leadership.
