Yes because making major foreign policy decisions that will cause hundreds of thousands of deaths should be made based on emotion.... /sarc

You can debate how much and how long we let humanitarian abuses continue, I know some Americans are content let the ovens burn hot 24/7/365. But most of us are not.

Good movie. Bit long.
If you’re a film buff, go see the version in 70mm on an imax screen. There aren’t many cities that offer this (I saw it in PHX)
For better or worse, it’s a dying art form. See it while you still can.
“The Making of the Atomic Bomb” by Richard Rhodes is a classic and good companion book.
(FUN FACT: physicist and Nobel Prize winner Joseph Rotblat, upon learning through British intelligence contacts in 1944 that there was no German nuclear bomb project to deter, resigned immediately from the Manhattan Project. He was threatened with deportation if he shared his insights with the other physicists and thereby inspire others to emulate him. OTOH, the Soviet had so many communist sympathizers inside the US program they probably would have built one even if the US didn’t).
