In a chilling display of hubris, Senator Edwin C. Johnson of Colorado has called for the United States to take drastic measures to enforce world peace, with the threat of an atomic bomb hanging over the globe. On November 18, 1945, Johnson urged the nation to assume a terrifying responsibility, advocating for the use of atomic bombs to compel humanity to adopt a policy of lasting peace. Failure to comply, he warned, would result in a scorched earth policy.
