From 1924 to perestroika the USSR produced more than 4 dozen animated propaganda films. They weren't for export. Their target was the new nation and their goal was to win over the hearts and minds of the Soviet people. Anti American, Anti Capitalist, Anti Fascist, some of these films are as artistically beautiful as the great political posters made after the 1917 revolution. A unique series. With a unique perspective. Includes commentary by a leading Soviet film scholar.

"The use of this barbarous weapon at Hiroshima and Nagasaki was of no material assistance in our war over Japan. The Japanese were already defeated and ready to surrender..." - Admiral William D. Leahy, the President's Chief of Staff
"Arnold's view was that it was unnecessary. He said he knew the Japanese wanted peace. There were political implications in the decision and Arnold did not feel it was the military's job to question it." - Lieutenant General Ira C. Eaker, deputy to the commanding general of the U.S. Armed forces, Henry H. Arnold
"The war would have been over in two weeks without the Russians entering and without the atomic bomb. The atomic bomb had nothing to do with end of the war at all." - Major General Curtis E. Lemay, commander of the 21st Bomber Command
"The President in giving his approval for these attacks appeared to believe that many thousands of American troops would be killed in invading Japan, and in this he was entirely correct; but (I) felt...that the dilemma was an unnecessary one, for had we been willing to wait, the effective blockade would, in course of time, have starved the Japanese into submission through lack of oil, rice, medicines, and other essential materials." - Ernest J. King, commander in chief of the U.S. Fleet and chief of Naval Operations
"I had been conscious of a feeling of depression and so I voiced to (Secretary of War Stimson) my grave misgivings, first on the basis of my belief that Japan was already defeated and that dropping the bomb was completely unnecessary, and secondly because I thought that our country should avoid shocking world opinion by the use of a weapon whose employment was, I thought, no longer mandatory as a measure to save American lives..." - President Dwight D.

[Back to the Atomic Bomb Controversy Page]
The decision to drop the atomic bombs on Japan was heavily criticized almost immediately. Through the years an increasing number of scholars, politicians, activists, members of the military and others have challenged President Truman's conduct in the matter. Among their primary arguments are:
1) President Truman did not use all the options available to him and thus condemned 200,000 innocent civilians to a needless death.
Revisionist historian Gar Alperovitz in his book "The Decision to Drop the Atomic Bomb" proposes that a "two-step" policy was under consideration by President Truman and his top advisors in the summer of 1945. The first step was to secure Soviet cooperation to attack Japan soon after the defeat of Nazi Germany. Secondly, and perhaps most importantly, the surrender terms offered the Japanese should specifically spell out that the Emperor would be allowed to remain in power upon Japan's acceptance of the terms.
Alperovitz writes that the the Joint Intelligence Committee informed the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff that "a Russian decision to join with U.S. and Britain in the war against Japan would have enormous force - and would dramatically alter the equation: 'The entry of the U.S.S.R. into the war would, together with the foregoing factors, convince most Japanese at once of the inevitability of complete defeat.' It went on (step two): 'If...the Japanese people, as well as their leaders, were persuaded both that absolute defeat was inevitable and that unconditional surrender did not imply national annihilation, surrender might follow very quickly.'"
Doug Long on his web site writes: "Historian and former Naval officer Martin Sherwin has summarized the situation, stating, 'The choice in the summer of 1945 was not between a conventional invasion or a nuclear war. It was a choice between various forms of diplomacy and warfare.'"
The challenging position clearly believes that the use of the atomic bombs was unnecessary because there was a military and political reality in the Pacific that would have brought about Japan's surrender without the tragedies at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This contention is "fleshed out" as follows:

What is so rare as a day in June?
June having 30 days, it is clear that days in April, September, and November are precisely as "rare,"or as common, though they are slightly less common than days in January, March, May, July, August, October, and December. Days in February are the least common, of course, so it is nonsensical to consider June days as particularly rare.
Where are the snows of yesteryear?
If the question refers to the melted product of last winter's snowfall, the answer can sometimes be derived by analyzing the volume of water in the catch basins of dams located on streams downhill from the point of original snowfall. More precise measures may be taken of those snows that contribute to glaciers which move at regular rates ranging from a few centimeters to a hundred meters per year. The easiest place to locate such snow, however, is in the extreme arctic and antarctic regions, where, although snow is very rare and sparse, it remains satisfactorily frozen and fixed in place indefinitely.
How high the moon?
It varies between 356,000 and 407,000 km in distance from the surface of the earth, its average distance being 384,400 km.
What shall we do with a drunken sailor?
D. Kolb and E.K.E. Gunderson's study, "Alcoholism in the United States Navy" reports that attempts to prevent, diagnose and rehabilitate sailors suffering from alcohol-related problems are to a measurable degree superior to the older approach of simple hospitalization (published in Armed Forces and Society, Vol. 3, No. 2, pp. 183-194).
Who wrote the Book of Love?
René of Anjou, King of Naples 1435-1480, wrote and illustrated his Book of Love (Le cueur d'amours espris) some time after 1473 while living idly in Provence.
Tell me why the ivy twines.
Not all ivies do twine, of course: some are mere creeping vines. However, climbing ivies such as are commonly seen covering academic buildings maximize their exposure to light by using twining tendrils to affix themselves to other plants and objects in order to gain altitude and escape their shade.
Would you like to swing on a star?
There has been a good deal of research into the use of long tethers linking space probes which could use the gravitational differential between linked units closer to and farther from a massive object to generate both electrical and kinetic energy (see L. Johnson, B. Gilchrist, R. D. Estes and E. Lorenzini: Advances in Space Research, Vol. 24, No. 4, pp. 1055-1063 (1999). However, problems of scale and temperature make it unlikely that this technique will be applied to interstellar navigation any time in the near future; so you would be wise to limit your wishes to swinging from a planet.
How long has this been going on?
Data from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe produce an estimated age for the universe of 13.7 billion years, plus or minus a 1% margin of error.
What is to be done?
I find that the Filofax A5 System Organizer efficiently tracks my appointments with a minimum of fuss and is generally superior to the personal information management software products so widely touted by computer enthusiasts.
What's up, Doc?
Presuming that the doctor addressed is a physician, one must assume that the question refers to the identity of the topmost parts of the human body, in which case the short answer is the frontal lobe of the brain, the skull, the scalp, and--if any--the hair.
How are you going to keep them down on the farm after they've seen Paris?
Administered commodity prices resulting in an average profit per farmer of no more than $50,000 per annum should be adequate to discourage profligate trips to France.
Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf?
No one well informed, of course, since the writer in question died in 1941; but during her lifetime she was known to have a sharp tongue, and many persons had reason to fear her wit.
Where have all the flowers gone?
Generally the petals of the flowering parts of plants wither and fall off to decay in the surrounding soil while the remainder is converted into fruiting bodies. However, the blossoms of e
Lufthansa are putting picocells on their aircraft so you will be able to connect to it and pay them a hefty fee to use your own GSM/GPRS enabled cellphone
As for you being a mechanic, well, if you tried to establish a position of authority you failed miserably.
Phones in the air
Mobile phones could soon be following Wi-Fi into the stratosphere. WirelessCabin, an EC-funded consortium led by the German Aerospace Centre with members including Airbus, Siemens and Ericsson, will this summer trial a system that puts a short-range mobile phone "picocell" on board aircraft. Phones transmit to the picocell at very low power, eliminating interference with on-board avionics and terrestrial base stations.
WirelessCabin's system is compatible with any infrastructure, so it could be added on to Tenzing or Connexion's offerings; the consortium is planning trials with Lufthansa.
http://www.techworld.com/features/index.cfm?featur eID=512&printerfriendly=1
The mobile phone option could prove popular by allowing business travellers to remain available to receive calls, just as they do when roaming on international networks. "That sort of thing could be more usable (on planes) than the Internet, and would be likely to bring in more revenue," says Mark Darby, managing director of Aviation Strategy. "People might want the option to take their calls."

Lufthansa are putting picocells on their aircraft so you will be able to connect to it and pay them a hefty fee to use your own GSM/GPRS enabled cellphone As for you being a mechanic, well, if you tried to establish a position of authority you failed miserably. Phones in the air Mobile phones could soon be following Wi-Fi into the stratosphere. WirelessCabin, an EC-funded consortium led by the German Aerospace Centre with members including Airbus, Siemens and Ericsson, will this summer trial a system that puts a short-range mobile phone "picocell" on board aircraft. Phones transmit to the picocell at very low power, eliminating interference with on-board avionics and terrestrial base stations. WirelessCabin's system is compatible with any infrastructure, so it could be added on to Tenzing or Connexion's offerings; the consortium is planning trials with Lufthansa. http://www.techworld.com/features/index.cfm?featur eID=512&printerfriendly=1
The mobile phone option could prove popular by allowing business travellers to remain available to receive calls, just as they do when roaming on international networks. "That sort of thing could be more usable (on planes) than the Internet, and would be likely to bring in more revenue," says Mark Darby, managing director of Aviation Strategy. "People might want the option to take their calls."
