    That documentary is on at the moment and man it's tough to watch. Then to think the Japanese were duped into WWII and made to look like the aggressors to make sure the country was totally the war machine. 70,000 and 140,000 and the Pandora's box has been opened for all to see.

    Duped by the thousands of Chinese and Koreans killed by the Japanese war machine??? Or was it those damn Malaysians???
    All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.

  • I just want to know who's handing out all the weapons around the world and, in essence, sprinkling them over countries like candy....anyone?
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    Some comic relief.

    This is the epa website
    http://www.epa.gov/radiation/news/index.html

    It's supposed to be news about radiation leaks and stuff. But all the good links from the last few days like:

    IAEA team arrive in Japan
    (World Nuclear News) Radioactive material escaped the plant, an external electrical transformer caught fire and many barrels of solid radioactive waste were knocked ove

    GAO: Prospects 'unclear' for quality of Yucca Mountain license
    (Jackson Hole Star-Tribune, Associated Press) Yucca Mountain is being planned to hold 77000 tons or more of highly radioactive nuclear waste for 10000 years and beyond.

    Japan Remembers Hiroshima
    (NY Times, Reuters) World War Two, promised to review the government's tough standards for determining whether atomic bomb victims suffer from radiation disease, the subject of a series of lawsuits by victims. The atomic bomb had killed some 140,000 people

    what weapon created has not been used? It is only a matter of time some derivative of it will be used again.

    The destructive power of these is insane

    The Bombing of Nagasaki August 9, 1945: The Untold Story

    By Gary G. Kohls

    62 years ago, on August 9th, 1945, the second of the only two atomic bombs (a plutonium bomb) ever used as instruments of aggressive war (against essentially defenseless civilian populations) was dropped on Nagasaki, Japan, by an all-Christian bomb crew. The well-trained American soldiers were only "doing their job," and they did it efficiently.

    Do you think the A-Bomb/Nuclear weapons will be used on a nation again? HBO has a documentary called White Light/Black Rain:The Destruction Of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.Unfortunately, I believe it will happen to another people in the world and that aggressive nation will suffer the consequences of their actions.

    Peace world wide

    If you don't see one before Bush leaves office. I will take a guess at one going off before the next president leaves office. Whatever party and whoever that may be. The middle east is quickly slipping away from the States control and with all the people just lining up at the recruiting offices to go and get killed, you know it won't be long. Once Iran gets called out once and for all from the admin.
    You've changed your place in this world!
