Except for Nagasaki.
Because one atomic bomb wasn't convincing enough to get Imperial Japan to surrender in World War 2.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki were tragedies, but necessary tragedies.
The morons who think Hiroshima was a crime that America needs to apologize for should read up on what Imperial Japan did in the years leading up to and during the Second World War.
The Japanese invented the suicide bomber, they had a culture that honored suicide and instilled that their sacrifice for the God Emperor was more important than their lives.
If the Allies had attempted a ground invasion of Japan, the death toll, on both sides, would have been many times greater than the casualties from the atomic bombs.
Blogger Lumpy, Grumpy and Frumpy had some observations about a Hiroshima memorial in Toronto.
