Emma and I discussed the last year of WWII today. We talked about the following: the Manhattan Project, the facility at Oak Ridge, TN and its workers, the detonation of the atomic bomb in the New Mexican desert, the use of the bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, how we have managed to avoid nuclear war in the decades since WWII, the connections to modern history with the Iraq War, weapons of mass destruction, enrichment of uranium, Iran, diplomacy, and the Nuremberg Trials.
