60 years later, the lesson of Hiroshima is not simply |
|
the horror of nuclear weapons and the necessity that we be rid of them, although it is those.
50-60 million people died in World War II, military and civilian. On the order of 140,000 died in Hiroshima, around half that at Nagasaki.
The lesson is the need for global justice and peace. That is the goal. That is the need.

1. Cable shows horrors of nuclear victims |
|
The films have just recently been released by the U.S. military.
The scenes from what that innocent civil population went through makes the victims shown in the War of the Worlds, look like they were on a cakewalk.
Thousands additionally died in the following weeks because they were ignorant of the dangers of radiation and returned to those cities to look for relatives.
Nuclear war is the devil's work. May we never use it on innocent civilian populations, or anyone else, ever again.
