It is incomprehensible to me that on this day 71 years ago, even after seeing the horrific wholesale destruction in Hiroshima, the United States dropped a second atomic bomb on Nagasaki.
IMSNHO, FWIIW: If we ever as a country had the moral high ground internationally [and I would argue that we did], it was irreparably lost then and there. I deplore the first bombing but I can understand that the person who authorized it had no concept of what would actually follow, and therefore thought the ends justified the means – rationalizing that the war would cost far more in the way of lives, even if they were ignoring the fact that we were bombing hapless civilians. But this second bomb?
As a country, we need to bow our heads and ask forgiveness.
