Bombs and Death Suck

They screened an atomic bomb special on TV a couple of nights ago. I watched as the events of Hiroshima unfolded, told in documentary style, in the hours leading up to the blast.

I dreamt about what I saw.

This photo is part of the yahoo collection showing the 60th anniversary memorials in Japan, to mark the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings.

I'm not saying the war being fought at the time by the Japanese wasn't horrendously cruel and barbaric, but the innocent people targeted - can that ever be justified?
