Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
Why did
the U.S. bomb Hiroshima?
70,000
and 40,000 immediate deaths in two days by two human-made bombs. And hundreds
deaths followed by burns and radiation exposure. Most of them were innocent
civilians who had nothing to do with the war.
Those
who have visited the museum and seen the photos and exhibitions learn how devastating
the effects of the bomb and its radiation were. And most likely they will say
no to nuclear weapons, forever.
But there
are still over 50% of Americans who think the use of atomic bombs on Hiroshima
and Nagasaki was justified, according to a recent poll.
Will this
historic visit by the first sitting president of the bombing country ever
change the view and understanding of nuclear weapons of the country or in the world?
There seem to be more, much more world leaders who should come and see those
silent but most vocal proof.
If you
haven’t, you should. You’ll learn more than you’ve ever learned about nuclear
power.
