Welcome to Hiroshima,Mr President.
All Japanese welcome you. Your visit after 70 years will touch Hibakusha and give a hope to all ,both of those who experienced the war and who never have.
There are many people who say that Japan invaded Asia and started war against America. Also there were several chances to end the war but Imperial Japan ignored them. I learned the history much more after I graduate school as a teacher.I have visited Hirosihma 3 times and Nagasaki 8 times. There were shocking pictures and real stories.
In the museum in Nagasaki I saw a handbill saying that the A-bomb would be dropped soon unless Japan would not surrender in the museum.
It is true that the bomb saved thousands soldiers and civilians of America, Japan and other countries. Six days after another A-bomb dropped in Nagasaki, the war ended.And Japan was re-born as a democratic country and Japan has renounced war.
I understand that is correct. More important thing is not who to be blamed for the bomb but how we can make the world more peaceful without nuclear weapons. How we can create better world, how we can share their desire strong desire of Hibakusha (victims) and cruelness of the nuclear bombs.They desire to be the last victims.
No More Hiroshima. No more Nagasaki. Old victims sat and protest in peace park against nuclear experiments of the world.
I don’t talk about who should be to blame. I wish that all of the people who visited Hiroshima will see how cruel and terrible the nuclear bomb was. I understand that the world affairs are not so simple.Japan, we don’t have or develop nuclear weapons but Japan is protected by the U.S with nuclear arms.However I would like to dream the world without nuclear arms.
There is a United States physicist and molecular biologist who helped develop the first atom bomb and later opposed the use of all nuclear weapons (1898-1964)
