Hiroshima, August 6th, 1945. 08:15

If we wanted to pinpoint the most horror within the smallest possible amount of time in the History of Mankind, this is the one.

If we could take a picture of humanity’s worst, that would probably be it.


There are some who still support that those bombs were necessary to end the War and spared the lives of many more (American) soldiers who would have died in a probable invasion to Japan.

All I have to say is:

-The powers of Axis had almost surrendered and the war had all but ended.

-Why were the bombs dropped in cities almost untouched by the war (with probably no strategic usefulness), if not for testing reasons?

-Why was the one bomb made using Uranium and the other using Plutonium, if not for testing reasons?

-And, finally, we must never forget that the end of the war meant that the world reign was once again debatable. Such destruction was a good sign to everyone about who “the boss” of the planet was…


The terror that occurred in Hiroshima (and Nagasaki, of course) has to be a reminder to us all that we have invested TOO MUCH in the obliteration of our fellow people and our planet and not nearly enough for their salvation…
