Sorry. It was the wasabi.

Tasteless!

Although Hiroshima and Nagasaki were the second-last and last uses of nuclear weapons against civilians, sixty years later Dick Cheney is reported to be considering doing the same thing.

Maybe start a new thread, Momus? I find the idea of clicking on "HAPPY HIROSHIMA!!" to seriously discuss this kind of repugnant.

We've heard the Cheney thing. Thanx, chicken little.

I agree the thread title is tasteless. I don't see any other threads about Hiroshima on ILX, though. And yes, the Cheney-wants-to-nuke-Iran story was discussed on another thread, but not in the context of the 60th anniversary of Hiroshima.

Here's a brief video clip of ceremonies held in Hiroshima today, including a mass mock "die-in".

I do think it's sad the way nuclear proliferation has gone on for 60 years now.

Wow, Momusm posting shit that was posted two weeks ago -- SHOCKING.
USA draws up plans to nuke Iran in event of 9-11 style attack; not contigent on Iran's involvement (sez /American Conservative/ mag)

Maybe you'd like to tell me how Black Dice was a generic hardcore band!

My last roommate is teaching junior high english classes in a suburb of Nagasaki right now. I am interested to see his next email.

Actually, I blew this one earlier... I should have said, 'Momus Posting on Thread About Japan Shockah'

BTW, while Cheney threatens Iran with Hiroshima-style nuclear destruction, his former company Halliburton is found to have sold Iranian oil companies key nuclear reactor components. Nuclear carrot in one hand, nuclear stick in the other...

jason leopold has had some issues with the truth. his stories were retracted by the nytimes and salon due to unverifiable sources.

Sussan Stanberg always pronounces it hirOshima. I hate that, but it's fun to think of other Japanese names with that inflection:
naGAsaki
hirOhito
..um..
