Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Halifax
As different as the explosions at Hiroshima and Nagasaki may be from the
earlier Halifax Explosion, they share something in common. CHARLES SPURR
One Humanity, One Struggle! Hiroshima and Nagasaki:
Never Again!
Humanity's fight to rid the world of the nuclear weapons in the hands
of the big powers and defeat the US imperialist "new world order"
requires stepping up the struggle to uphold the sovereignty and independence
of all nations, big and small, and eliminate the threat or use of force
to settle conflicts.TML Daily
Americans divided on use of A-bombs in 1945
Americans, in a historical switch, now appear about equally divided on
the decision to use the bomb. GREG MITCHELL
Such a barbarous act should never be repeated
Not one head of state or government from a country that possesses such
weapons has ever visited those museums before or during his mandate. JOAQUIN
ORAMAS

MEDIA CULPA
Hiroshima,
the top news story that wasn't
Censorship and the manipulative media treatment of the tragic event, managed
by Washington and Tokyo, greatly muffled the impact of the catastrophe
and made the press an accomplice in the war. HUMBERTO MARQUEZ
“Little
Boy” – a macabre irony
This man, who was not able to overcome his memory of August 6, lived in
torment because of his terrible task, of which he too was a victim, and
also because of the incomprehension of his country.
