Thank you America ( and anyone else involved) for dropping the Atom Bomb.

While atomic weapons have presented a whole new set of problems for the world, they saved a lot of lives (on all sides) by bringing WWII to a speedy conclusion.

I'd like to thank the U.K. for standing firm during WWII. The world today would probably be quite a different place had Britain either been defeated or sued for a truce with Hitler.
