Hiroshima |
During these next few weeks, the 60th anniversary of the atomic bombing
of Hiroshima will dominate much of the media's attention. Many articles
will be written and documentaries broadcast detailing the suffering of
the city's population. None of these outlets should forget to also
detail the initial sneak attack at Pearl Harbor that commenced this
war, killing thousands of innocent Americans. They should remember to
run articles and films detailing the atrocities perpetrated on allied
POW's, crimes as vile as anything the Nazi's committed in Russia. They
should detail the occupation of the Asian countries that fell under the
Japanese sword. Was the bombing justified? If it saved even ONE
American life, it was worth it. August 6th should be commemorated as a
holiday honoring Harry Truman.

The Japanese city of Hiroshima is preparing to commemorate the 60th
anniversary of the world's first atomic bombing on August 6.
Some 140,000 people, almost half the city's population at the time,
died immediately or in the months after the nuclear attack from
radiation injuries or horrific burns.
Latest research has found 76-percent of survivors still experience
flashbacks.
The Hiroshima bombing was followed by the dropping of a second atomic
bomb on the city of Nagasaki on August 9, 1945, leaving tens of
thousands more dead.

agreed - however Nagasaki was a crime.
YEAH! Why where were their LAWYERS???? Why didn't the UN airdrop a
few thousand LAWYERS into Japan to tell the japs of their RIGHTS??
should have given them 2-weeks to think it over...........I suspect they
would have surrendered after verifing that the first one was a real
a-bomb.
Huh? The fucking japs didn't have running water or electricity. How
would they know what a "real a-bomb" was? Jesus.
Oh, how I love dumbfuck xenophobia with dessert.

3-days was a rush job so as to test Plutonium health effects.
There was no "test of plutonium health effects".
The scientists knew better than to think such a thing was necessary.

American life, it was worth it.
-------------ummmmmmmmmmmmm no.
that would be genocide Sir.
Genocide requires that the intent of the act be to extinguish a race or
culture.

My son, a Marine who just left Japan, visited the Hiroshima monument.
One feature was the remaining skeleton of a building (a couple of walls
still stood), a bell and many of the words are in both Japanese and
English. The memorial park is a dedication to peace.
