Any sort of proof to that claim?
The last information given by any rational person was that a 0.25
megaton atomic bomb targets an entire city.

That claimis completely false. The strategic significancy of Nagasaki
was relevant to the European paece talks and Truman's desire to
intimidate Stalin. He had to choose the city in Japan that was most
like cities in Russia. Atomic warfare is directed against entire
counties including civilian populations. In some strategic views,
atomic warfare should be especially directed towards civilian
populations.

The fire-bombing of Japan, which killed many more people, was not
targeted at Nagasaki possibly because of the Christian population or
because it was not a strategically relevant target.

Monkey boy, you are editing again. There is no such thing as a "Grand
Master of Masonry." Each Grand Lodge is independent of all others;
there is no central authority. Each Grand Lodge decides whether or
not to recognize that members of other Grand Lodges are actually
Masons. For example: In my Lodge, we currently have a man who has
asked to join but who will have to renounce his former affiliation
with an irregular Grand Lodge and take all three degrees.

Also Roosevelt chose a running mate who would best balance the ticket
and keep him in the White House. His other serious consideration was
a segregationist, and that would have split the Democratic vote.

DS, you really should try to get some education. Even a GED would be
an improvement.

Another gem from the "catholic monk" who claims that Pope Benedict is
not really the Pope or even Catholic! LOL
