I have always thought that there was a short window at the end of WW2 that the US could have prevented the Cold War from starting. The window basically closed the day that the Soviets got the A-bomb.

I picture the smoldering ruin of Moscow the day after Japan surrenders. If the Soviets do not surrender, we continue to bomb cities until they do. Imagine history without the arms race, no Korean War, no Vietnam War, no Wars in Afganistan, no Cuban Missle Crisis, etc...a Crib Death for Communism.

Is this scenario possible? Is there a better way? What could possibly go wrong? =-)
