How many miles could the nuclear bomb could affect other country?
That would depend on the bomb(s). FEMA estimates that in a reasonably anticipated nuclear missile exchange fallout from missiles attacking our silos in Montana could have a lethal plume extending as far east as Ohio. And that is only considering attacks on Montana. Missiles will undoubtedly attack in all states. You can check FEMA's website for the complete fallout projections map.

What does the song lyric 'musha rain dum-a-do dum-a-da' mean?
no one knows....but,
I have seen other postings where it is spelled "Musha ringum duram da". there is a lot of speculation, but with no firm answers.
found this:
"Musha ring um a do um a da" is very very similar sounding to these Irish words:
Musha => M'uishe (my whiskey)
ring um a => rinne me/ (rinne = past tense of "de/an" which is "do, make, perform, carry out, commit, turn out, reach, establish"; me/ = "I, me")
do => don (from "do" + "an" = "to the, for the")
um a da => amada/n (fool)
I would say, based on this, that "whiskey made me the fool" - man can I relate to this!
other point out that Musha = Muise = indeed, in which case I would say "indeed, i am/was a fool"
others say it is filler, jibberish or misstranslated gaelic.
either way Whiskey in the Jar is a great song. check out Grateful Dead version.
How is Emperor Hirohito remembered today?
Emperor Hirohito is remembered as one of the three main Axis leaders in World War II: Hirohito was the leader of Imperial Japan, while Hitler was the leader of Nazi Germany, and Mussolini the leader of Fascist Italy.
However, there is considerable controversy about Hirohito's war responsibility among the historians, because of many elements of opaqueness and secrecy around a personage considered as a "living god" at that time, and because of a whitewash of his public image made in consideration of the geostrategic interests of the United States after the war.
Nevertheless, since Hirohito's death many documents have come to light and a growing number of historians asserts that Hirohito played an active role in the Japanese wartime politics. He ruled as the head and coordinator of an oligarchy with a pluralistic decision-making process.
Books like "The Age of Hirohito: In Search of Modern Japan" by Daikichi Irokawa; "Hirohito and the Making of Modern Japan" by Herbert P. Bix; and "The People's Emperor: Democracy and the Japanese Monarchy, 1945-1995" by Kenneth J. Ruoff" (despite of its title, it includes a great deal of information about Hirohito's role in wartime government, and it explains clearly the Japanese decision-making process, including the active involvement of the emperor) are very useful to this matter. Also, documentaries as "Hirohito's War" of the documentary series "Secrets of War", or "Emperor Hirohito" (BBC, 2005), are very informative.

The military knew about the weapon but at the time the President has not decided on the course he would choose.

The Philippine economy is doing better now than when president Arroyo was in power. There has been a shift of call center outsourcing from India to the Philippine's by various companies.

Did president truman make the correct decision in using the atomic bomb?
Truman had no idea the atomic bomb was being developed. He was not even vice president when president Franklin D. Roosevelt authorized the development of the atomic bomb on October 9, 1941 after a meeting with Vannevar Bush and then vice president Henry A. Wallace. At this time the United States was not even officially involved in WW2. Truman was first informed of the development of the atomic bomb by secretary of war Henry L. Stimson shortly after Franklin D. Roosevelt died in April 1945 only months before the first atomic bomb was tested. Effectively the atomic bomb was already completely developed before Truman was even aware of it, all that remained to be done was proof testing and combat use (and Franklin D. Roosevelt had already put the military wheels in action before his death for selection of target cities in Japan, although this selection process was not complete until late May 1945).

What made Manchuria attractive to the Japanese?
Manchuria was a logical target for Japanese expansion because Japan was running the South Manchurian railway at the time of the incident. It was also within close range, and would make it easier for the Japanese to get their resources onto the mainland. Another good reason is that China at the time was in a state of civil war, so after bombing the South Manchurian railway, they could easily make it look like communist China's fault and go in looking like they were helping the Chinese.

Why did you decide to bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki during world war 2?
US bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki because they wanted to convince Japan to surrender fromg WW2.
Also because during the war, Japan wasnt affected a lot compared to other places that joined the war.
are you serious? I'm sure the Japanese people of the major industrial cities tend to disagree with this they were firebombed for months, Tokyo and Osaka were ashbowls.
the real reason Nagasaki was bombed was because it was overcast in Kokura the original target. in actual fact, the Japanese, through the soviet union, tried to conditionally surrender in June 1945, a full 2 months before the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. the condition they wanted was that the emperor was to remain head of state and to retain its home islands. America flatly refused the offer and instead chose to continue the war a further two months, until japan unconditionally surrendered. an interesting footnote should be that upon signing the unconditional surrender japan was allowed to retain its emperor and retain its home islands.
