The "quick knee jerk reaction" after PH was the Doolittle raid on Tokyo. This raid did nothing more than say to the Japanese people that "yes, we too can hit your shores...don't get too comfortable".
The Nukes were still years away.

Is THAT right?? Wow, well, having never studied those events directly (haven't had time) I always just presumed it was a quick knee jerk reaction and the bombs were dropped in like, a week or so after.
Are you telling me that PH happened THEN we developed the bombs???
I don't believe that. Pls show me a reference in your history allegation.
