I live a few miles from the plant that produced the plutonium for the Nagasaki Bomb (Fat Man).

An oft quoted story about the use of the bombs:

"When told that the United States had dropped 2 bombs on the Japanese and destroyed two of their cities, a Pacific Islander who had lived under Japanese occupation angrily said "Why did you stop?'."

No representative of the British Government went to Hirohito's funeral.

I’ll quote one of our FReepers the other day on a similar thread:

“Finish the tour, Nancy . . . go to Bataan and Nanking”

"I hope they see what happened here and take that back to their countries," said Naganishi, whose father died of a bomb-related illness several years after the war. "The bomb Hirohito's and Tojo's war of aggression shattered my family. It changed our whole lives."

Some editing was necessary.

World apology tour continued.

I wonder if she will visit Columbus’ birthplace and apologize for him having ever discovered America. Democrats are just plain weird people.

Going to be a long apology trip ... If you hate your country why not just move, the rich bitch has her husbands money.

I could say something here, but it was something like it that got me thrown off another site.

Who gives a crap about Connie Corleone crying crocodile tears over Hiroshima when a true American war hero should be remembered for his duty in hastening the end of the war?

Yeah, Nanbo. Do continue on to El Alamein, and Cassino, London and Warsaw, Buchenwald and Dachau. Keep apologizing, a**hole.

If she raises taxes any higher, she'll have to move...

What no apology for the US provoking Japan into the bombing Pearl Harbor? I’m disappointed. (sarcasm)

I miss that generation. They are dying off much too quickly and leaving behind a bunch of morons to whom history means nothing.

If we hurry, perhaps we can ready another weapon before she leaves...

Oh, be still my heart.

The Enola Gay is on display at the Smithsonian Air & Space extension at Dulles Airport. They did such a good restoration job she looks like you only need the ignition key to start her up.

Still looks like a debutante going to the ball.
