APH_Mr. President

HEY GUYS, I'M DOING COMMISSION FOR 10 BUCKS! [link]

"Mr. President, I feel I have blood on my hands."

Does the very embodiment of America looks sorrowful or indifferent?

Entirely based on the guilty confession made by Openheimer to President Truman in regard of the Manhattan Project.

Was the bombing morally acceptable if it could save life of millions of American soldiers? Or it wasn't, seeing the state of Imperial Japan in edge of surrounding (another debate here) compared to the military and technology superiority of the US Army?

_{Although it would be some time before Oppenheimer discovered how this dramatic competition to achieve geopolitical goals formed a backdrop to the use of the atomic bombs, he, unlike Truman, felt an appropriate revulsion at what he had helped achieve. When Oppenheimer met Truman for the first time on October 25, 1945, Truman asked Oppenheimer to guess when the Soviets would develop a bomb. When Oppenheimer said he did not know, Truman shot back that he did: “Never.” Unnerved, Oppenheimer said at one point, “Mr. President, I feel I have blood on my hands.” The president, furious at Oppenheimer, informed David Lilienthal, “I told him the blood was on my hands—to let me worry about that.” Apparently relishing this story, Truman later offered alternative versions. He told Dean Acheson, “I don’t want to see that son of a bitch in this office ever again,” and another time called him a “cry-baby scientist."}
