JAPAN 6 & 9 Aug 2010 Hiroshima, Nagasaki mark 65th nuclear attack anniversaries!
The United States dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima on 6 Aug 1945, and a plutonium bomb on Nagasaki on Aug 9. Japan surrendered on 15 Aug, ending WWII. Political upheaval in Japan makes it difficult to predict whether the government will concentrate on the future and not on the attacks, thus resetting the tone in the 65-year-old debate about whether the nuclear attacks were a war crime or a defensive necessity. The shape of the debate could influence whether the United States is represented for the first time at the Hiroshima ceremony. |
