I think it's any and all nuclear or atomic testing,because there were a lot of letters.Recent ones.Theyre all on brass plates,on this giant pole,at the end of the peace museum tour.

They earliest ones start at the top,the recent ones ,as you come down .

It looks like since he left office,the letters have stopped being generated ,as well.

There's still a big celebration there,every year,on the anniversary.

Its very interesting in general.The shell of the dome building,is held up by scaffolding,making it look as if it's a building ,under construction.

All the information about Sadako,and the cranes.The USA recently gave them intelligence photos,never before seen.Also,we had also planned to bomb Kyoto as well.

War is hell.

Hopefully we can all agree with that.

And while we could argue the decision until we're blue in the face, that point is certainly true.

I did not realize that the radiation from the atomic bombs are still affecting the Japanese people on a genetic level. That is just cataclysmic power that nuclear weapons possess.

At the end of the day, thousands of men women & children died from bombs dropping.
6 million jews, gypsies, mentally ill men women & children also died in the concentration canps.
Millions of soldiers allied & axis died on the battlefields, in the air & at sea.

The dropping of that bomb brought an end  to the Japanese campaign.
Remember, the Japanese would willingly sacrifice. themselves during kamikaze ( divine wind ) attacks.
They would not have surrendered had the bomb not been dropped.
Many more troops would have died had the Japanese continued to wage war.

The bomb was not dropped lightly.
Attempts were made to allow the Japanese to surrender in an honorouble way.
They were never going to surrender.
It was a neccesary event.

I dont believe at the time the bomb was used, all these after affects were known about.

The crew who dropped the bomb were following orders & carried out their duty, as they were expected to.


War really is hell.
Yet even now, war still rages on.

Perhaps it really is our destiny to destroy ourselves
