Oppenheimer Waxes Prophetic

Roger F. Fortier reminds us of these words of Robert Oppenheimer:

Subject: Oppies Idea
Thought you might be interested in this. Prescient or what?"There will come a time in the distant future, when we will have anover-abundance of nuclear weapons in the American arsenal, and we willhave a president who will never have experienced the death and senselessdestruction of war; who may be ignorant about the world, because of afailure to travel before assuming office, and who may be surrounded byadvisors with a hidden agenda, who will persuade him to use a smallnuclear bomb against a perceived enemy, in order to prevent a future war.When such a thing happens, and it will, what we have wrought by creatingthe atom bomb will instead have brought upon us, and mankind, its ultimateend. I shudder for humanity!" Robert Oppenheimer, (the creator of the first atom bomb)
