This being the 70th anniversary of the nuclear bombing of Japan, the issue of nuclear weapons is in the news. Since the bombing was only a few months before I was born, I have lived my life in the shadow of nuclear war. Below are images of the destruction:
Nagasaki
Hiroshima
The Japanese people and their government have had a policy of refusing to wage war since these horrific events. May they continue in that resolution and continue, as they are doing, to work for the end of nuclear arms.
