- Abstract
But decades later (2017) when Nobel Peace Prize winner, president, and David Geffen's favorite mega-yacht-buddy Barack Obama announced his plan to spend a trillion dollars "modernizing" the American nuclear arsenal there was (of course) little dissent. In a Newsweek interview ("Ike on Ike", Nov. 11, 1963) he recalled a meeting with Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson: "So then he told me they were going to drop it on the Japanese. While Americans are routinely bamboozled about the rumored nefarious intentions of foreign nations and their "autocratic" leaders, the fact remains that the United States is the only nation ever to drop atomic bombs with cold and calculated intent on a civilian population.
