Looking at those photos though, particularly the ones of civilians dying from their injuries or radiation, I can't help but think that humanity failed in this instance.  |
The first half of the 20th century was a complete fail as far as humanity is concerned. The second half wasn't much better.
It'd be interesting/extremely depressing to see just how many people died as a result of conflict in the last 100 years.
