Remembrance

Sixty years ago, on 9 August 1945, the US dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Nagasaki, killing at least 70,000 people and destroying the city. Exhibits at Nagasaki's Atomic Bomb Museum include this clock, suddenly stopped by the force of the blast at 1102 on 9 August 1945. This comes at a time when America isn't seen in the best of light globally. I only wish more attention was made to this act. This horrific act should be prevented at all costs and yet we seem oblivious to its passing. America needs to be more cogniscent of the world and less of the cowboy mentality. Sorry for the preaching...busy busy today, back to normal tomorrow.
