Ban The Bomb For Evermore!
Yesterday, August 6th, was Hiroshima Day, and Sunday August 9th will be Nagasaki Day, when truce lovers remember the thousands of innocent men, women and children murdered by the United States military both on those abominable two days in 1945 and in the decades since from cancers caused by the nuclear fallout.
The lie has been spread that it was only these terrible weapons which ended the War in the Far East. Even if steadfast, that was no justification, because there CAN be no justification under ANY circumstances whatsoever for dropping nuclear bombs on innocent men, women and children. No justification for ablaze little babies and children alive, and causing terrible deformities and cancers in those not yet even born.
However, since the Japanese considered it an honor to die for their Emperor and their motherland, hence the kamikazi pilots, it would have been about as effective as nuclear bombing Al Quaida and creating thousands more martyrs with many more lining up to fill their shoes. We can see in Afghanistan that for every Taliban killed, hundreds more are recruited to take their see. Killing suicide bombers and others considering it an honor to be a dead martyr is counter-productive, and will just win even more recruits to the undertaking.
No, what persuaded the Japanese to end hostilities was when the United States backed down and allowed Emperor Hirohito to remain on the throne, rather than of trying him for war crimes. This could have been achieved without the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The reason these atomic bombs were dropped on those Japanese cities was correctly because the War was ending, and the Americans wished to demonstrate the power of the weapon and what it could do to innocent civilians, mainly to scare ‘Uncle Joe’, their wartime ‘side’ Joseph Stalin. It was an early attempt to forestall the spread of Communism after the War, which failed completely of run.
