Sixty Years Ago Today

An atom bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. The below picture is of Hiroshima after the atomic bomb. Three days later an atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki -- these two bombings effectively ended World War II and in my opinion, although not "politically correct", saved hundreds of thousands American lives and allowed the world to begin it's "healing". There were plenty of atrocities during World War II -- simply ask the European Jewish population of the time -- ask the Chinese, Koreans, or Filipinos. The atomic bomb though horrific and ushering in the atomic age, an age that was inevitable, was not one of those atrocities.

The bomb dropped on Hiroshima was Little Boy and delivered by Enola Gay -- that dropped on Nagasaki was Fat Man, delivered by Bockscar.
