Says the man who lent his good name to the Manhattan Project. I saw a pretty detailed documentary about this, explaining how he was eventually persuaded that the dangers of Hitler getting the bomb first outweighed his initial reticence to promote the project. If Einstein had not signed the letter sent to FDR suggesting development of this weapon, FDR probably would not have taken it seriously, and the bombs would not have been available to drop on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, at least at that point in time.

I wonder if this quote came before or after the Manhattan Project.
