I don't want to start a discussion primarily, but i want to remember every single victim, no matter if still living or dead, of the two atomic bombs in Hiroshima, Japan, on 6th August 1945, and Nagasaki, on 9th August 1945. Today, Hiroshima is exactly sixty years ago.

so, let's commemorate them for a few minutes.

I have to say,when most of japanese remembered the victims of hiroshima and nagasaki,they considered they were the only victims in that war and the a-bombed cities hiroshima and nagasaki were their entire memories of that war.The japanese government has covered too many truth of history from its citizens so that there's given rise to so many issues among international community such as the emploied whitewashed textbooks,the honoring for war criminals and more importantly yet their unwillingness of apology for their past atrocities to countries outraged in ww2 by japanese armies.Thus,when they went to commemorate their war victims,most of victims of other countries were forgotten and ignored by them.

yeah, i heard about that..

But i wanted to remember more every victim of the first two a-bombs in history - targeted to human cities. because i feel as if this was like breaking through a wall, now there are less repressions using a-bombs.. it's a really sad developement. as i wrote in another thread there are about or more than 22 000 nuclear weapons in the world, the half in the USA. and that with such an idiot as president - sorry. but i can't see that Bush is a man who would flinch from using a-bombs as a revenge. it's a mess.

i made an essay about the cuba crisis in 1962, don't know if you heard about that but it was just so not a ww3. with nuclear war heads this time. i don't think we would have been here if there weren't more or less intelligent men at top of each USA and russia.
but now..?

ja,I agree with you on the nuclear related issue,Einstein said "I don't know what kind of weapons will be used in the ww3, assuming there will be a ww3. But I can tell you what the ww4 will be fought with stone clubs."

assuming that there are humans left to fight against...
