The A Bomb - 66 Year Anniversary ...

On 6 August 1945, a United States B-29 bomber Enola Gay dropped the 1st atomic bomb on the city of Hiroshima. The death toll by the end of 1945 was estimated at 140,000 out of the total 350,000 that lived there at the time.

Three days later another atomic bomb was dropped by the States on the city of Nagasaki. With these two bombings, the Imperial Japan surrendered and hastened the end of World War II...

Apart from the direct result of Japan surrendering to the Western Alliance, the followings, amongst others took place around the globe:

1. The States, United Kingdom and Soviet Union "greedily" dividing the "reconquered" land/states in the west & east among themselves;

2. The rising of nationalism in the far east - including South East Asia - such as India, Vietnam, Indonesia and the then Malaya;

3. The rising of socialism & communism all over the region - from Cuba, Vietnam and South American countries to the chagrin of the States;

4. Most important of all, Japan had practically open the eyes of the colonials occupied countries that the Western powers are not invincible...

Notwithstanding the above, war is a monstrous and despicable act which results in mere destruction to this world shared by us ....

Let there be no more war ....
