"The world will note that the
first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, a military base. We
won the race of discovery against the Germans. We have used it in
order to shorten the agony of war, in order to save the lives of
thousands and thousands of young Americans. We shall continue to
use it until we completely destroy Japan's power to make
war."
