That debate was interesting in that it brought up an historical no, no; the concept of making judgments on the past with today's values. Sort of like we have done, and do, with slavery, beheading non believers, women's rights, democracy, medical care and so on.
We are told we have, on the ready hydrogen bombs of far greater force than the bombs we dropped on Japan. If we are attacked and the H's are used; fifty years from now will some question our morality for using those weapons on people?
Did the debate give evidence that our values change over time or was it just another use of history to justify our politics?
