Thought this was more than worth a thread and couldn't see one already.
Japan today mark 75th anniversary of the dropping of the second atomic bomb (fiorst being the trinity test bomb in los alamo new mexico). The world has changed hugely over the last 75 years and its important the world remembers how destructive these weapons are. Theres a place as a deterant but we should do all we can to ensure non-proliferation and ease tensons in areas like India/Pakistan where use of the bomb could occur.
Theres a massive argument over weather the bomb should have been used as Japan were essentially beaten, Col Paul Tibbets (pilot of Enola Gay which dropped the bomb) was adimant that they saved hundreds of thousands of allied lives, it also sent a message to the soviets. However the death toll was huge and the effects of radioactivity terrible. Trueman would threaten the bomb many times after WW2 ended and it seemed nucelar war was enevitable. We seemed to have stepped back from the brink as a species. Hopefully we learn our lessions.
Bells toll to mark 75 years since Hiroshima bomb
