Yes, our descending was stage managed at every step downward along the way. The first blow was the pact with evil we accepted as necessary when Truman okayed the indiscriminate wholesale slaughter of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. How eerily hollow were the celebrations of that sequel of that outrage that we had so committed. In hushed tones we tried to salve our conscience that we had no choice. We had as a nation defiled the promise that just months before was made to Churchill by the standard bearer of that great necessary mission that our Constitution became the vessel for.
