Abstract
This paper discusses the atomic bombings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945. It discusses the impact of the bombings from the perspective of the human damage it caused among the Japanese population. The paper then examines the real necessity of a nuclear strike against the war time enemy, Japan, while taking into account the war conditions and the deterioration of the relations between the US and the USSR.

From the Paper
"Finally, there is also the moral issue to be taken into account. There have been numerous discussions over the moral legitimacy of creating casualties and causing death in order to reach peace. More precisely, the use of nuclear technology does not offer the possibility to make clear distinction between combatant and non combatant forces; also, it cannot control its immediate, as well as long time effects. These arguments came especially following the attacks, when the medical consequences became visible. Indeed, there is no moral argument to justify the use of weapons against possible civilians. The nuclear bomb lacks any precision in targeting solely military targets without causing casualties. Although its use cannot be justified from a moral perspective, it can be seen as a means to put an end to a war that had taken millions of lives up to 1945. The impact the attacks had on Japan determined, or at least influenced, the Emperor's decision to surrender unconditionally. In this way, the death of approximately 200 thousand people can be pragmatically viewed as a price for the survival of possibly other millions of people that would have lost their lives should the war had continued."

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the 1993 and 2001 World Trade Center bombings, which were acts of terrorism aimed toward the United States and their continued support of Israel as a nation and perpetrated by Islamic fundamentalists. It discusses how one succeeded, and one did not, and looks at the differences and similarities. It concludes by asking when the next terrorist attack will occur. Includes annotated bibliography.

From the Paper
"There are many startling and disturbing similarities between the 1993 and 2001 World Trade Center bombings, which illustrate how vulnerable our country is to terrorist attack, and how vulnerable the World Trade Center was as a target. Our country is extremely susceptible to further attack, as these two incidents clearly indicate. There was also much dissimilarity between the bombings, which illustrates how the perpetrators learned from their mistakes, and attempted to correct them to inflict the most damage. Both bombings clearly fall under the recognized and accepted definition of terrorism, as defined by the FBI:
Terrorism has been defined as "the unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives" (Federal Bureau of Investigation, 1992, p. i) (Peterson 116)."

Abstract
This paper examines how the greatest obstacle that people had experienced as a psychological reaction to the WTC attack is a stress specifically identified as post-traumatic stress disorder or PTSD and how although PTSD is common among American adults, children are no less exempted from experiencing this psychological effect. It evaluates various statistics of children who have had symptoms of or have experienced/suffered from PTSD and reviews various studies on children from the New York area who have had emotional troubles and stress problems as a result of the WTC bombings. It stresses the importance of helping these children with proper intervention and help from the child's immediate relations, such as his family to ensure there are no psychological problems later on in life.

"On September 11, 2001, America and the whole world witnessed the most recent terrorist attack of a free, democratic country, wherein the World Trade Center Towers in New York City collapsed after two planes had crashed towards the two towers. The said incident was a terrorist attack by Osama bin Laden and his terrorist group Al Qaeda in Afghanistan, and the said terrorist attack resulted to thousands of deaths, which are mostly composed of people inside the building and within its perimeters. In addition to the numerous deaths and physical injuries that the attack had caused, great damage also resulted with the destruction of the World Trade Center Towers."

Abstract
This paper discusses influencing factors on the decision to send atomic bombs on Japan during WWII. The author argues that atomic bombs used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were essential for America to win WWII.

From the Paper
"The peaceful town of Hiroshima, Japan was beginning its day on the morning of August 6, 1945. Many Japanese were going to work or still in bed. The streets were bustling with bicycles. All at once, a flash of light was seen in the air. A deafening roar and fire hotter that the sun's surface. "Little Boy" exploded with the strength of twenty million tons of dynamite. The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan were necessary for the Allies to win the Second World War, according to their terms of unconditional surrender of Japan. In order to determine this, one must observe: One, the German Nazi's example to Japan; two, the strife between Japan and the Allies; and three, the arguments given by Secretary of War Harry L. Stimson."

Abstract
There was much opposition to the U.S. bombings on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. This paper examines some of the political opposition, firstly and initially by Truman. It then looks at the opposition of three scientists - Leo Szilard, Albert Einstein and J. Robert Oppenheimer. The many military generals and politicians' oppositions are also listed.

From the Paper
"Contrary to the images displayed by World War II propaganda, the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were widely criticized, not only by 1960's radicals, but also by many influential figures of the conservative establishment, scientists, and those in the highest ranks of the military. These people, in addition to countless citizens and political officials, considered the use of the atomic bomb to have been militarily unnecessary and morally repugnant based on the information available to them in the summer of 1945."

Abstract
The writer of this paper puts forth the opinion against the use of the A-bomb against the Japanese cities at the end of World War Two. The writer states humanitarian and political reasons why these bombings did not serve the greater purpose of the United States in the long term.

From the Paper
"In the last sixty years many new discoveries and innovations have been made, but none has been more revolutionary or controversial than the Atomic Bomb. The Manhattan Project was the code name for the atomic bomb development during the World War II. The project allowed the United States to unlock the mysteries of the atom, but it also introduced the most destructive weapon the world has ever known.(Miguel A. Bracchini) For the better part of a century the world has feared that the one day it would come to an all out nuclear war. That fear is justly so, because if such a war would ever occur no one would survive. For this reason we should try harder for peace, especially in a time when we have the power to destroy the earth several times over with the push of a button."

Abstract
This paper relates that the atomic bomb has dramatically changed the world we live in and will continue to strike fear into the every day lives of civilians. The paper asserts that the making of the atomic bomb was inevitable, but the use of the atomic bomb was a mistake that will never be forgotten. The paper goes on to say that the atomic bombings of the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945 ended the bloodiest war in human history, but Japan was on the verge of surrendering anyway, so there was no military justification for the use of these horrific weapons. The writer concludes that if humanity fails to break free from the vicious cycle of wars, atomic bombs will be used again, life on earth will end someday in one final conflagration and the final page of human history will never be written because no one will be left alive to write it.

From the Paper
"Despite the fact that most Americans in 1945 considered these atomic attacks fully justified and felt no remorse for the massive death and destruction inflicted upon Hiroshima and Nagasaki, most Americans today have very different attitudes about the atomic bombings, and feel regret, shame, and revulsion when they think about the atomic attacks. Most of them believe that although the making of the atomic bomb was inevitable, it was a mistake to use atomic bombs against Japan."
"The Manhattan Project was established early in World War II because it was learned that Nazi Germany was intent upon building an atomic bomb. This political factor, combined with the relentless advance of scientific discoveries, made the development of atomic weapons inevitable. Consequently, a race to develop atomic bombs began, for they would be the ultimate weapon and whichever nation possessed them would be impossible to defeat."
