Hiroshima Is A Lie, by David Swanson – Dandelion Salad

On this 76th anniversary of the U.S. nuclear attack on the Japanese city of Hiroshima, this essay points out the faulty reasoning often expressed in explaining and/or justifying this first use of using nuclear weapons against civilian targets in time of war. To me, none of this reasoning makes the use of such weapons acceptable.

Another was used on Nagasaki a few days later. May that be the last time these weapons be used. It time we eliminate them entirely, not merely prevent other nations from gaining the ability to attack with nuclear bombs.
