Some historians feel that President Truman dropped the atomic weapons on Japan not to end the war in the Pacific, but to impress the Soviet Union with US military power. Given Truman’s other options, how do you think a leader today would make the same decision?

there is a lot of controversy about this. Personally, I do feel like it was done to bulk up to the Soviet Union. It killed a lot of innocent people, but some believe it was a necessary sacrifice to protect their loved ones. But me, personally, i would rather suffer by the loss of my family than have the guilt of killing innocent people.  

i dont think the decision today would be any different.

atman means 'eternal self'. the atman refers to the real self beyond ego or false self. it is often referred to as 'spirit' or 'soul' and indicates our true self or essence which underlies our existence.

there are many interesting perspectives on the self in hinduism ranging from the self as eternal servant of god to the self as being identified with god. the understanding of the self as eternal supports the idea of reincarnation in that the same eternal being can inhabit temporary bodies.

the idea of atman entails the idea of the self as a spiritual rather than material being and thus there is a strong dimension of hinduism which emphasises detachment from the material world and promotes practices such as asceticism. thus it could be said that in this world, a spiritual being, the atman, has a human experience rather than a human being having a spiritual experience.
