CB: But it wouldn't have been good for humanity for the U.S. to be the only country with nuclear weapons, no ? I mean especially from the standpoint of the Koreans and Viet Namese or even the Soviets. But even the Cubans. What would have become of the post WWII colonial independence movement , if the U.S. had a monopoly on the bomb ? >>

Talk about argument by non sequitur. What does the response have to do with the original contention? One could grant the argument of the response in its entirety, and it would still have no impact on whether or not Radosh was right that Julius -- but not Ethel -- Rosenberg did participate in espionage, or that the trial was not a fair one.

Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never has, and it never will. If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation are men who want crops without plowing the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightening. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its waters. -- Frederick Douglass --
