Just read this news of Mr. Kevin Rudd visiting Hiroshima to pay homage to the victims of the brutal attack of America on Japan.
Reading this article, it reminds me how totally brutal and unprovoked the response was of the U.S. of America. If memory serves me right, and if I go by the history books, I distinctly remember reading that Japan was on the verge of losing, and was about to surrender. It has suffered heavy defeats against the Chinese and other so called 'Allied' nations.
And then, something happened that nobody thought was possible. America nuked Japan, TWICE! I for one definitely think that it should be considered as a war crime and America should also be punished for what it did to millions of people, effects of which are seen even today in Hiroshima & Nagasaki. People are born with deformities even today!
Anyway, I think this is a great step towards making world a better place to live, and peace reign. America should be the first to realise the mistake it made 50 years ago and actively start to dismember more than 1500 odd nukes that it possesses. It is time for them to put aside their fears and suspicions about other countries and start trusting them. It is America's untrusting and selfish nature which creates so much unrest in the world today.
Peace to all!
