America Hating Liberal Zealots Decry Exhibit of Enola Gay!!!
Blame-America-first sympathizers of Japanese warmongers exploit a
display by the Smithsonian Institution to attack President Bush.
Anti-nuclear Zealots Decry Smithsonian's Exhibit of Enola Gay
Susan Jones
Thursday, Dec. 11, 2003
Survivors of the U.S. atomic bomb attack on Japan plan to protest the
Smithsonian Institution's new aircraft museum in suburban Virginia,
because the exhibit includes the Enola Gay, the plane that dropped the
first atomic bomb on Hiroshima. The Japanese will be joined by
Americans who strongly oppose the Bush
administration's nuclear policies.
The Smithsonian Institution's new Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, an
annex of the Air and Space Museum, is scheduled to open on Monday in a
huge new building near Dulles International Airport in Chantilly, Va.
In anticipation of that event, delegations of atomic bomb survivors
were arriving in the Washington area Thursday.
Don't Forget Pearl Harbor and Bataan
The survivors say they strongly object to the way the Enola Gay is
being exhibited, "without mention of the human suffering caused by the
bomb it dropped in the city of Hiroshima," as they said in a press
release. They plan to present a petition of grievance to Smithsonian
officials.
The survivors said they "are also hoping to generate a discussion of
the Bush administration's below-the-radar drive to put the U.S. back
in the nuclear bomb-making business."
Japanese survivors of the atomic bomb aren't the only ones urging the
Smithsonian to rethink its exhibit.
Still Blaming America First
Another group, Committee for a National Discussion of Nuclear History
and Current Policy, headed by an American University professor, said
it had collected more than 400 signatures, including those of Nobel
laureates, urging the Smithsonian to present a "balanced discussion"
of the atomic bombings in 1945 and of current U.S. nuclear policy.
The anti-nuke committee said the Air and Space Museum's exhibition of
the Enola Gay "dishonors the museum and the nation and serves the
purposes of those who seek to normalize nuclear weapons and facilitate
their future use."
"The celebration of a weapon that delivered an atomic attack, in the
context of the administration's pursuit of new nukes and its 'do as we
say, not as we do' non-proliferation policy, sends the world the wrong
message," said Kevin Martin, a member of the anti-nuke committee.
"America's credibility in the international community, particularly on
the issue of weapons of mass destruction, is low enough already," he
said. "We must have an honest conversation about what it means to have
used nuclear weapons and the implications of designing new nuclear
weapons while maintaining a stockpile of over 10,000 nuclear
warheads."
On Monday, Dec. 15, the Japanese survivors and American protesters
plan to hold what they call a "solemn, dignified demonstration" in
front of the Enola Gay, at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center. Protesters
said they will carry full-size photos of the damage and suffering
inflicted by the atomic
bombs.
History Speaks for Itself, Veterans Say
On the other side of the argument stands the pilot of the Enola Gay,
retired Brig. Gen. Paul W. Tibbets, 88 years old.
Tibbets recently visited the Smithsonian's new aircraft museum annex,
and he was quoted as saying that the protesters were ignoring the
reason the atomic bomb was dropped. "Casualties are part of war ...
but this is not the ground on which you argue those facts," Tibbets
was quoted as telling a Japanese television crew.
He and other American veterans note that the bombing of Hiroshima and
Nagasaki forced a quicker end to World War II, saving many American
and Japanese lives.
The Smithsonian's exhibit includes about 80 planes and more than 2,000
artifacts.
It is expected to be one of the Washington area's major tourist
attractions.

are mean, vicious, hateful, greedy, cold-hearted, closed-minded,
selfish, intolerant, bigoted and racist.

Much as I regret doing it, I have had to killfile, killfile, killfile in
order to make this group (alt.fan.michael-moore) more readable.
I'm not scared of the diatribes. They could be entertaining to someone
other thank myself. Filtering for quality. No quality=gone (right or left
irrelevant, logical content is my guide)
