Fogonazos: Hiroshima, the pictures they didn't want us to see
So I take it that since you are posting in this blog, you haven't given yourself what you think you deserve as an American.The other irony in this line of thinking is that the poster must believe that "we" as citizens should be doing more to control the "evil" actions of our government (which would justify why we "deserve" something to happen to us). People, don't ever forget who started the war! The Japs did! For the millions of civilians all across Asia who have suffered, including my very own parents, I said the Japs got it easy
Countries with established programmes are seeking to replace old reactors as well as expand capacity, and an additional 25 countries are either considering or have already decided to make nuclear energy part of their power generation capacity. It could never have been licensed outside the Soviet Union, incompetent plant operators exacerbated the problem, and partly through Cold War isolation, there was no real safety culture
Had he had enough fuel, he would have flown in a northwestern direction, then circle back for an eastward approach for Nagasaki; given his fuel situation, Sweeney had his navigator plot a straight line for his target. The German army was wavering,as early as March 1945, and most Germans weren't suicidal fanatics who would fight to the death." Thanks to you all!

Although it was realised that the policy of appeasement had failed, Chamberlain was still not prepared to take the country to war over "..a quarrel in a far-away country between people of whom we know nothing."

Chelyabinsk is an industrial town long held to be one of the world's most polluted areas, and the area around it hosts nuclear and chemical weapons disposal facilities. He noted that the meteor struck only 60 miles from the Mayak nuclear storage and disposal facility, which holds dozens of tons of weapons-grade plutonium
The war might have ended weeks earlier, he said, if the United States had agreed, as it later did anyway, to the retention of the institution of the emperor. If the United States would be the first to release this new means of indiscriminate destruction upon mankind, she would sacrifice public support throughout the world, precipitate the race of armaments, and prejudice the possibility of reaching an international agreement on the future control of such weapons
Atomic energy may in the future supplement the power that now comes from coal, oil, and falling water, but at present it cannot be produced on a basis to compete with them commercially. The fallout from the controversy led to loud, public debate in the halls of Congress and, ultimately, to the resignation of several leaders at the museum
Why did Japan surrender? - The Boston Globe
In the three weeks before Hiroshima, Wilson writes, 25 cities were heavily bombed.To us, then, Hiroshima was unique, and the move to atomic weaponry was a great leap, military and moral. And, strangest of all: That nuclear explosives may not be particularly effective weapons of war.The Pacific War began in 1941 with the violent humiliation at Pearl Harbor

If there were not such stupid people leading the others and if there were not such stupid people serving and listening to this evil leaders, there would not be any wars in the world, no pain. How many lives will it cost to invade (and how many of them will be on our side) vs how many lives will it cost if we drop the bombs? There are a few kneejerk patriotic comments here, but equally, there are plenty which demonstrate a failure to understand that, however abominable the decision to drop the bombs, the alternative was considered to be more abominable
Part of the problem has been the treaty against testing: DOD has not developed a new weapon since the test ban, so it works against the improved accuracy of nav systems to use a sledgehammer because we know the sledgehammer works when testing could verify that smaller warheads do the same job with higher accuracy. 42,166Followers 2,221,241Fans 7,779Followers 20,081Followers Featured TEDx Talk Free Exclusive Film Screening! advertisement - learn more CETV - What's On Salad In A Jar (Recipe) Published: Jul 15, 2015 Subscribe: advertisement - learn more We Recommend Trending Now This Mother Wants You To See What An HPV Vaccine Injury Looks Like This video may be difficult for some to watch, but the mother of this child wants the public to see exactly what it means to deal with a child who has been vaccine injured
How did this precedent dictate warfare in subsequent presidencies? What other Truman policies became precedents for the modern presidency? One example is United States sponsorship of NATO. "For the last few seconds, he stared directly ahead and when the announcer shouted Now!' and there came this tremendous burst of light followed abruptly there after by the deep growling of the explosion, his face relaxed into an expression of tremendous relief," recalled General L
MILITARY VIEWS About Dropping the Atomic Bomb
the question of whether we should drop this new bomb on Japan, in his judgment, involved such imponderable considerations as to remove it from the field of a military decision. For his part, all he could say was that the few little revetments and rural bridges that he might find to bomb in Kyushu wouldn't begin to pay for the fuel he was burning on his task force
The Call for Unconditional Surrender: The Potsdam Declaration contained the insistence on unconditional surrender, which consequently left the continued existence of the Emperor ambiguous. It is apparent then, that prior to the Potsdam conference the United States did know that all issues pertaining to the Emperor were of the utmost importance
Secretary of War Stimson, aware of the Japanese regard for the Emperor, was adamant that the offer include the provision that the Emperor would be able to remain in power. By June 1945 there were already divisions within the Japanese Supreme Council discussing how to end the war with the Americans with the largest reservation being the desire to retain the national polity by allowing the Emperor Hirohito to remain on his throne
Attacking Pearl Harbor was such a cowardly move the little Japanese people deserved exactly what they got, in fact we should have done about ten more in hopes of wiping the losers out.
