There Are Worse Things

-
With the anniversary of Hiroshima upon us, we can see people world-wide flocking to protest the evils of nuclear weapons. Hard to argue that it is horrific to imagine the kind of devastation that could come from such weapons.

What the moonbats miss, though, is the fact that the atomic bombs dropped on Japan in 1945, while creating hundreds of thousands of Japanese casualties; DEFINITELY saved easily that many more in both Japanese and American lives that would have been lost in a troop invasion of the Japanese mainland.

What we should all really be protesting is a criminal government (like Japan's WW II regime) that refuses to surrender its evil cause and thereby brings about the suffering of its own people.

Instead, though, they are out protesting against the good guys. They will be at my place of employment (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) today and on Tuesday... and they are everywhere else, too. Here is a highlight:

[[ Hiroshima marked the 60th anniversary of the first atomic bomb attack Saturday with prayers and water for the dead and a call by the mayor for nuclear powers to abandon their arsenals and stop "jeopardizing human survival."

In central London, more than 200 anti-nuclear activists and others gathered at Tavistock Square, where a cherry tree was planted in 1967 in memory of the victims of the Hiroshima bombing.

Jeremy Corbyn, a lawmaker in the governing Labour Party and vocal anti-war campaigner, urged people to remember the "unique horror" of what happened in 1945. ]] (LINK TO STORY)

As I said, that "unique horror" would have been much, much greater if we had NOT dropped those bombs. As to "jeopardizing human survival"... again, it comes down to what actually kills people. A nuclear weapon cannot, in and of itself, kill anyone. It takes someone to make it and target it and deploy it. That is what we need to stop... those PEOPLE who would jeopardize human survival!

May God bless the souls of all those who died in that war- both our military people and the Japanese people whose own government led them to such an ending.
