With all this information available, at least to privileged persons, I cannot understand why it is generally held in the United States that we completely missed the basic principle of the bomb until after Hiroshima.
If you rely on the media for your information, to educate yourself about the candidates and what issues are facing the country, then you get just part of the equation.
