THAT IS WHY IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO SET ASIDE POLITICS AND SIGN THE TREATY WITH THE RUSSIANS.
On Monday, August 6th, 1945, at 8:15 am, a US bomber dropped the first nuclear weapon used in warfare over the city of Hiroshima.
Estimates of the number killed vary from 90,000 to 166,000 people, with at least half killed in the first seconds of the blast, and others perishing of radiation injuries up to four months after the blast.
A building exactly at ground zero was partly destroyed, but a piece remained standing, making it "the building closest to the hypocenter of the nuclear bomb that remained at least partially standing." It has been preserved as a reminder of the awful event.
The museum in the Peace Park faces the A-bomb dome and contains relics of the explosion which includes "clothing, watches, hair, and other personal effects worn by victims of the bomb" and "a section that looks at what happened to wood, stone, metal, glass, and flesh from the heat" and details about the health effects suffered by humans from the radiation from the blast.
PREPOSTEROUS! The Teahadist-Republicans would rather risk being evaporated in a mushroom cloud conflagration than to give President Obama a diplomatic victory. After all that we have tried and finally when we have some results; the Republicans will vote NO, like they have with everything else.
But it is ok, we will perish happily as long as when it happens it is not while Obama is President!
