A poll was taken in US on the 60th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima. I don't remember the exact percentage, but between 31 and 34% of respondents thought the US should have dropped as many nukes as possible before they had a chance to surrender.....60 years later, a third of those polled.

My only thought was that many must be projecting their feelings about Al Quaeda into their response at the time.

It was still a very fascinating, and scary, poll.
