Any younger ones? I don't know if that would be more or less disturbing.

No, I blame Howard Stark for attempting to justify an indefensible act. There are scientists who worked on the Manhattan Project that expressed their regret for their actions. I hold no ill will against them. But calling it "necessary" in 2013, when accounts already began to indicate that that wasn't the case in 1946, is inexcusable. We've all done terrible things to varying degrees, and I can see how scientists thousands of miles away from the front lines with a little red button might be more apt to do something especially terrible without grasping the consequences of it. It isn't the commission of the crime that infuriates me, as tragic as it is: it's the failure to show remorse after the carnage has been glimpsed. Only through atoning for our actions can we find absolution.
