Hiroshima and Nagasaki: A Look Back at the US Atomic Bombing 64 Years Later

This year marks the sixty-fourth anniversary of the US atomic bombings of the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that killed over 150,000 people instantly. Commemorations this weekend in Japan and around the world marked the US bombing of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, and then on August 9th, of Nagasaki. We play the report of Wilfred Burchett, the first journalist to make it into Hiroshima, as well as Anthony Weller, the son of Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist George Weller, who was the first reporter to enter Nagasaki after the bombing, and we hear from Hiroshima survivor Shigeko Sasamori.

I have added the below video to the first Post of this Thread. It is worth viewing the accounts by people who were actually there. They also vividly animate how destructive the bombs were:

US Attending Hiroshima Memorial "Enormously Important," Says Robert Jay Lifton

Sixty-five years ago today, the United States dropped a bomb nicknamed "Little Boy" on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. An estimated 140,000 people died immediately or succumbed to burns and radiation sickness soon after the blast. This year, Japan marked this somber anniversary with a representative of the US government in attendance for the very first time. We speak with leading American psychiatrist, author and longtime opponent of nuclear weapons, Robert Jay Lifton. Ref. Source 9

"...the Japanese were ready to surrender and it wasn't necessary to hit them with that awful thing."

I think the dropping of the two atomic bombs on Japan was the right thing to do. I believe it stopped a war where many more on both sides would have died fighting. While these bombs killed a lot of people very quickly it showed the world just what it would do. Since that time we, as a people, have gone to some great lengths to see that this does not happen again.

I think this was exactly the wrong thing to do. I think the war could have been ended just as effectively if the bomb was dropped in a much less destructive place. Furthermore I don't see the point in dropping two bombs to prove a point. If the idea was to show we have the capability of nuclear weapons one would have been just as effective.

When I say this I imagine the multitude of civilians (women and children) who were wiped out from this, as well as the fallout.

To me it is a sick thing to kill so many innocents to make a statement.
