I read Hiroshima some 50+ years ago and found it to be chilling and eye-opening. (It was required reading at my high school.). Equally chilling was visiting the Atomic Bomb Dome, the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, and the Sadako Peace Monument with its thousands of origami cranes. Visiting those sites, and standing out as an American English speaker, made me acutely aware of the horror of of even a single, small (by today's standards) nuclear weapon. Using such weapons must never be permitted again.
fran, if such weapons, which are at least ten times more powerful than those used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, were to be used today, we would barely have time to kiss our asses goodbye before human kind would cease to exist. So much for such things a money and attitudes about race, what could be taught in schools, abortions, birth control, the enemy, for they all won't exist any more. Our government and overstuffed Pentagon just don't get it.
