To this man? Just think: we must have destroyed his intelligence totally we must have reduced him to a machine. Whenever I do my duty perfectly well, I always sleep well.” One hundred thousand people burnt within five seconds, and not even a nightmare came In the morning when he was asked, “Could you sleep in the night?” he said, “Certainly, I slept well! I did my duty, I finished my job, and then I had a good night’s sleep. But he must have been utterly stupid: he dropped the atom bomb, and had a good night’s sleep. If the man had been intelligent, he would have immediately said no. Why should I drop the atom bomb? It is better to die than to kill one hundred They have no responsibility for the war! They have not caused it. They are innocent civilians – – small children, old people…. He would have said, “If you want to kill me, kill me, but I am not going to kill one Just think: the man who dropped the atom bomb on Hiroshima, if he had been intelligent he would have simply said “No!” Even at the risk of his own life he would have said no.
