    Japan marks 70th anniversary of Hiroshima atomic bombing with a moment of silence

    They got what they richly deserved.

    The handwringers at the BBC and leftist media conveniently forget the torture and atrocities the Japs inflicted on Allied PoW's and the people of the countries they occupied

    i must be getting soft in my old age but i heard an account of a very young boy who survived theblast but lost family members,and i thought of mothers,children,grand-parents all going through terror and i couldnt justify that loss of civilian life,dont get me wrong i have read all about the japanese atrocities in the rape of nanking and brutality on allied troops etc,the japanese army deserved to be annihilated but the effect of the bomb immediate and long term on children doesnt sit well with me.
    I never used to have a conscience when i was younger,maybe i need therapy



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    It ended the war dead. It's believed if the bomb had not been used and conventional weapons used many more lives would have been lost.
