Gawain 0 #1 September 10, 2003 The link to the AP story is below. I remember seeing an interview that was later put on a home-video documentary "Trinity and Beyond - The Atoic Bomb Movie" where he stated that he was the only advocate of the H-Bomb, simply because he knew how important it was that the US develop it first. Of course, seeing his childhood home of Hungary fall to communism in 1919 and have to deal with Nazi Germany influenced his views. One quote from the article summed up his influence over the years: QuoteStill, he defended the existence of atomic weapons, saying, "The second half of the century has been incomparably more peaceful than the first, simply by putting power into the hands of those people who wanted peace." http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,96904,00.htmlSo I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

Disagreed with his politics, though. I believe he was the prototype for Dr. Strangelove.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

HRHSkyPrincess 0 #3 September 10, 2003 This is a passing worth noting...one of the Beautiful Minds of our century. He knew the power and the danger of it all. What an incredible burden that must have been...***************** Attitude is everything! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miked10270 0 #4 September 10, 2003 His was an amazing life. Personally I think that he was right in effectively claiming credit for that the world has enjoyed for almost 60 years now... "Humans loved war. They kept practising, getting better and better at war. But suddenly, about about the middle of the twentieth century Humans got so good at war that they couldn't have one anymore." Enough seriousness! What are the funeral arrangements? I would hope that he's going to be Microwaved instead of Cremated. Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable. Prenait la pisse hors du FrançaisCanadiens méridionaux puisqu'avant lui à la mode. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
