Today is a day of infamy…..one country totally devastated another and the Nuclear Age had begun.
On this day at 0815 hrs a bomb named Little Man was drooped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima the resulting explosion killed thousands and the survivors would suffer from radiation sickness and death…..the bomb in effect ended world War 2.
Now there has been an argument going on since the day the bomb was dropped as to whether it was necessary because, some say, Japan was already defeated.
Thanx to the bomb the world would enter into a new age and a new war, the Cold War.
Please take a moment today and remember those civilians that were evaporated in the name of war…..and pray that humanity is NEVER that irresponsible or cruel ever again.
I think the only real threat today is that of some crazed religious fanatic getting their hands on a nuclear “dirty bomb”.
Maybe but that does not explain the necessity for others to have stockpiles…..the world is a bit safer but far from safe….
