The teller of this story was a 13 year old girl when she survived the bombing. Sorry, but I don’t think that 13 year old girls deserve having nuclear bombs dropped on them.
Her country as a whole, though, richly deserved it, and everything else that we did to them as payback for what they did to us and to a whole lot of other people.
And this is one of the sad things about the atomic bombings: innocent people had to suffer because of the evil deeds of their leaders. I do think it’s entirely possible to sympathize with her plight, while simultaneously understanding that it was something that had to be done, and something for which the United States need not feel the slightest amount of guilt.
Why are you “sorry” for having your opinion?
The question I continue to have is why didn't she die of radiation poisoning and how was it that both Hiroshima and Nagasaki were able to rebuild so fast if nuclear bombs were to rend such sites uninhabitable for hundreds of years?
