Think back to Wright’s statements at the beginning of the book. Having read about the effects of the bombings on the people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but also about Japan’s war crimes, what do you think of Wright’s statements? If he is right about how horrible the bombings were, can they still be justified? If he is right, is it still appropriate to say they were worse than 9/11?
