US
Atom Bombs Killed 270,000 in Japan
Instantly, Millions Afterwards, as Collateral Damages of World War II! (Deepak Sarkar, www.kolki.com)
[From the Author of “Poems by Kolki –
Absolutely Humane”, a recipe for better world]
As US/NATO and
European Union have been labeling countries around the world as ‘Axis of Evils’
possessing weapons of mass
destruction, let us not forget ever that US/Allied atom bombs killed
270,000 civilians in Japan instantly and millions afterwards in the city of Hiroshima
and Nagasaki during normal morning business hours on August 6 and August 9,
1945.
The Second
World War was over with Hitler dead, German forces defeated and
eradicated and the devastated Japanese military on its way to surrender! Yet US
and British military officers could persuade then US President Truman to use the newly
developed atom bombs on innocent Japanese civilians destroying two vibrant
ancient cities without any warning or provocation – probably to show the world
the power behind post war allied supremacy.
Like September 11, 2001
New York City sky, the sky over Nagasaki and Hiroshima were totally clear,
perfect for follow up US and British war planes to take pictures of unthinkable
destruction and devastation. The
difference was, New York City lost World Trade Center plus 3000 people, whereas Nagasaki and Hiroshima lost
270,000 people instantly along with their two vibrant ancient cities entirely. After effects from radiation and related
disease killed and disabled millions for many years.
Every human life is precious. But US/NATO taught the world that death and
destruction are justified as collateral damages to protect US/NATO military, corporate
and evangelical interests. Nagasaki, Hiroshima, Vietnam, Korea, Indonesia, Somalia, Serbia, Afghanistan and Iraq are just a few examples. US/Allied
military planes/sorties dropped more bombs on the tiny tropical land of Vietnam than
Hitler did during the entire World War II.
From Nerve gas to Fuel Bombs to Atom Bombs, they have used them all
testing the extent of their military supremacy while actively using the veto
power(s) derailing most United Nations (UN) peace efforts around the world.
While the
danger of weapons of mass destruction from North Korea, Iran or Iraq is hypothetical, it is rather real when we evaluate that US/NATO
and Israel posses and use
weapons of terror preemptively and indiscriminately ignoring as well as
undermining most UN and international democratic peace efforts! Thus it is time
to re-evaluate the motives of the European Union along with US/NATO monarchial
alliance of labeling other nations on Earth as ‘axis of evil’ while pursuing
NATO expansion in peace time at the cost
of the United Nations and world peace – destroying countries and environment
while killing and displacing millions!
