so because stemson happened to be a very happy tourist in kyoto, in 1926, kyoto was spared atomic destruction. when those guys are sitting around a table deciding which city to bomb, they actually decided at one point, or discussed at one point, the possibility of following the atomic bomb almost immediately with a full scale incendiary raid. the idea being to send in the bombers and drop incendiaries on the city at the point when it was most vulnerable. this was discussed very seriously. the reason they didn't do it was not for any religious or other scruple. it was because they were worried it would muddy the effects of the bomb. it would make the impact of this new weapon less obviously discernible and the most important thing here was public relations. the word is not mine. it's theirs at the time. the pr of the bomb was as important as the actual bomb itself. the fact this bomb was a new weapon and could shock the japanese into surrender was the key. so, you know, you're talking about a level, if you like, very cynical destruction that is a long way from any kind of obvious sense of chri
