I was upset, really at the futility of it (or non-futitlity as one may see--just the violence and I'm a super-wuss). Please, someone call me and tell me as I'm not a political animal as Elfdude, DA or Hair. I thought (back then) why not drop it (if you're gonna DO such a thing) on Tokyo? Why a small farming town of innocents? How does that prove glory? It proves POWER, for sure but as a non-military (most of my fam has served in the military proudly) person I couldn't understand the target...except to show what we COULD do? I'm not sure. My fa is out of town and he was there in charge of a German POW camp and knows alot more than I do.
However, unrelated (please bear with me as there is another unrelated point here) it brought back memories. I mean stuff I thought I "stuffed" for four years. I re-lived 9-11. Please don't yawn or say it's not an issue.
I was ENRAGED again at the arrogance of that day. These Super-Assholes using the freedoms they enjoy in this country to use it to their advantage to take us down. The futility (at least to ME--Maybe DA has a good explanation why my friends had to die) of it all. I'm ALL pissed off again. It won't go away!!! I've been good to those who suffered and have been to funerals and tried to do all the "good" things to make things better. But I CAN'T seem to forget it. When I least expect it all of a sudden Joey calling in desperation for the 105 floor comes back (no body was found) or seeing those towers come down and people running for their lives for no reason. The months of clean up and the heartache involved for my firefighter friends (Jim O'Connel saw his own captain decapitated!). I give money every year in hopes it will help in some small part.
I'm not sure what I'm saying here. I'm NOT happy about Iraq at all. I won't get into that. But the people in the "tube" in London (a friend of mine from London is visiting this week) didn't deserve it.
Dropping the bomb in Hiroshima/Nagasaki was something I had nothing to do with. I'm really upset it happened...just as a person who hates to see others die. Since I wasn't there I can't comment too much on it as it is now unfortunately part of History (See Rush song Manhattan Project) however I AM around for the BULLSHIT that is going on now. I'm sorry, DA, you challenge others with their point-blank opines but I don't see a solution from you (and I'm HOPING FOR A GOOD ONE SINCE I HATE VIOLENCE MYSELF).
I've been abused by an uncle by marriage when I was a child (yeah, Hair, they need more than TIME, BELIEVE ME--) , I've seen unspeakable violence in my own back yard with 9-11. Also my cousin was shot in the forehead entering a money exchange place as an amrored guard in a bad neighborhood in Chicago. I don't consider myself a barbarian but I am so angry at things beyond a normal person's comprehension sometimes even when I try and try and try to understand and be good.

Fuk'em is what I say sometimes. Please forgive me but I'm just not myself.
I'm not sure what this has to do with Hiroshima right now but I just get upset at shit especially when I can't do a damn thing about it!!!
