Japan Remembers Bomb, Forgets Reason

HIROSHIMA, Japan (Aug. 6) -- Hiroshima marked the 60th anniversary Saturday of the first atomic bomb attack with prayers and water for the dead and a call by the city's mayor for nuclear powers to abandon their arsenals and stop ''jeopardizing human survival.'' Here we go again. Why do you think we dropped the damn thing in the first place? It's not like we thought, "oh, this is going to kill alot of innocent people, drop it". That was how your friend Germany liked to conduct war. On the contrary, Japan's almost immediate surrender is the reason for the bomb. Ironically, the devices from hell may have saved thousands more innocent civillians from the horrors of war. So before you start bitching about human survival, try and remember that the bomb may be the only reason that Japan exists today. Our other alternative was to burn Tokyo which would have gone up like, well, any city made of wood. Besides, you started it.
