Connection across time for Chap. 29

The dictatorship that took place during WWII was very powerful and at times very out of hand. With the Holocaust that took place, I felt that that was the most horrible thing anyone could do to a race of people, and people in general. So many innocent lives were lost. Even with Hitler being in power, he was one of the most powerful, but outrageous and evil leaders of all time. His motives were very negative and it showed. Furthermore, with the atomic bomb being dropped in 1945 on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, I felt that it was not a good motive to do. Their should have been another method used instead of bombing these places, and killing innocent Japanese civilians. They should have targeted areas such as their capital, or important government buildings. If the Japanese wouldn't have surrendered, (which they had no choice anyways because we were a threat to them) What would we have done? Would we have kept on dropping more bombs (since we had more) until they surrendered? This would have caused more deaths instead of saving our people and the Japanese, and in the long run, sickness and death would occur even the more with the deadly gases that protruded from the atomic bombs. In all, we have learned our lesson to not do such things because it produces negative results. If we don't go through such things, how can we learn from our mistakes?
