@ Bucky --- Statistics
2 million is not out of the question, but it is not a number that the American public could ever come to terms with. But neither is 650,000 for that matter, nor the 3 million Vietnamese. They have been turned into red mist, smoke and released into the stratosphere.
Herr Eichmann may have been right when he said, "One hundred dead are a catastrophe, a million dead are a statistic."
Oppenheimer knew the score, "I have become death, the destroyer of worlds".
