Today, August 6th, is Hiroshima today. 63 years ago today, at 08:15am on August 6th 1945, the United States murdered between 90,000 and 140,000 Japanese civilians when they destroyed the city of Hirsohima with a primitive atomic weapon. It was a war crime of the first magnitude, but no-one has ever been punished for it. Instead, those responsible were decorated and hailed as heroes.
This sort of atrocity must never be allowed to happen again. And if it does, we must make sure that those responsible are punished for it. Those who use nuclear weapons are hostis humani generis - the common enemy of all humanity - and they should not be allowed to find safe haven anywhere.
