One of the Better Writers

I've been casually reading him for awhile, but Victor David Hanson is great at putting things in historical perspective.

As an addendum, there's an article in this month's Atlantic (best magazine - by far) about nuclear weapons and how scientifically easy it is to put one together. There is also a description of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki blasts which in reading, almost brings tears to the eyes, just thinking of the awesome power of these devises and the horror they inflicted. 150,000 civilians dead in Hiroshima. Can we fathom that? In one second.

A few have talked about 9/11 being the jihadists greatest mistake...that they basically let slip the surprise ending of their movie before it came out. Had they only waited until they could get their hands on one or more nuclear devises (which would have been easier pre-9/11), they could've likely brought Western Civilization to our knees.
