I did not hear the speech. Was is worthwhile? PoAst IT
Obama was the first president to ever make an appearance there since the Hiroshima incident. Does that not demonstrate some level of integrity to acknowledge what happened, by his visit and speech?

He visited Cuba as well. He is doing good things. He is showing integrity. I'm not criticizing him, just don't understand why he refused to apologize. We dropped a bomb on innocent people. They weren't military targets. We got a new toy and wanted to try it out. A simple "sorry 'bout that" couldn't hurt. Since he was there and all.

The Cuba visit was titty!
It's difficult to transfer responsibility from events 70 years ago, onto our generation of Americans. I can somewhat see how apologizing would be accepting blame for something that no still-living people are responsible for, or at least very very few remaining veterans/politicians/whomever.
As people of the world, both Japanese and Americans, we are much further along in the healing process, hopefully.

"Operation Anvil was a series of 21 nuclear tests conducted by the United States in 1975-1976 at the Nevada Test Site."
Are you denying the existence of Operation Anvil?
I guess the fact that he did go there and pay his respects, so to speak, does count for something.
I think the dropping of those two bombs was wrong though. Even at the time. We could have at least hit military targets, instead of downtown metropolis.

I have no idea what the war would have looked like had it not ended in that manner.
Dropping those two bombs appears to have been a horrible and psychotic decision, but I'm a tree hugger by nature.

John Wayne and a bunch of other people they filmed a movie too close the fallout was in the area they filmed. Was just a theory but some scientist collected samples and came out they where stirring up nuclear fallout from the desert. Even a few small towns a bunch of people died of cancer nearby. The fallout killed a bit of people nobody was turned to toast though. We also used a lot on some island forget the name but all that fallout went straight into the Pacific Ocean and people cry about Fukushima. Lol
Yeah, we need to destroy all nukes fuck nuclear energy we don't need it we killed more Japanese with napalm in Tokyo than Hiroshima with a nuke only Hiroshima can still kill people 70 years later.

It would have been bad either way Stalin was going to invade Japan with the Allies which pissed off Stalin and caused the Cold War. They beat Germany the USA and allies just helped. We should be cool with Russia but we ain't all because of propaganda meanwhile Russians ain't that bad no worse than Americans.

Those were under ground tests if I remember right? The tests in the 50's were above ground. That's when I was a kid and remember the milk tasting weird back in Iowa. The milk man said the cows got into some loco weed (no shit I remember that at 7 years old sitting at the table eating cereal and Johny the milk man was making excuses while dropping off a couple of quarts of milk in glass bottles).
Just another thought but the milk did tastes really strange. I'll never forget it.

War is an ugly hateful business... If we go to war we should win. Mostly we should not go to war.

The same conditions that caused wars in the past exist today. Competition for limited resources.
