I don't agree with the bombing of civilians (nuclear or otherwise), and for that matter don't have any special respect for historians, but as for history I don't believe your response fits the world we live in. History was pretty unkind to Teller and plenty other bigger "winners". Of course I can imagine a historian attacking those scientists, it happens all the time. And that could easily have been the direction the mainstream history books went with. They probably will sooner or later, the way our society constantly finds new villains to decry. Give it a generation at most.
