Hiroshima and Nagasaki were a laboratory experiment for US officials who wanted to see how their new weapon would work, said Episcopal priest and historian Philip Wheaton.

Bargain! Supersonic jet for 5 bucks onlyIn a shady deal, four Russian supersonic MiG-31 jets have been sold for less than $5 each. The fraud happened at the “Sokol” military plant, not far from Nizhny Novgorod city. |

Pesky pests prevent property sales in the UKAn invasion of pests arriving in an increasingly warmer Great Britain is not only posing a threat to native species but proving precarious to the property market. |
It is said all's fair in love and war. The lesson to be learned here is if one does not want the horrors of war visited upon them they should not start a war. Had the Axis powers developed the bomb first, I doubt that there would be any reflection as to the morality of using it. Want to discuss a cruel experiment? Start with Dachau or Manchuria.
Humanity's answer to the Hiroshima and Nagasaki holocost should be a resounding "never again". This was a true holocost but you never hear the Japanese people playing the "victim card". World war II was massive deaths by all nations concerned although some countries suffered the loss of millions of people. Why did the world go crazy. Was it the world monetary tycoons of the time? Did an anemic little guy with a short mustash do all the evil. Was there a lot of blame to go around? Why didn't men and women of good will of the time prevent this. Were they also partly responsible. What lessons can we draw today from the mistakes of that time. How is the current world very similar to the world at the outset of WW II?
The 2nd world war was about oil. Whoever controlled the oil controlled the world. The Bolsheviks before the first world war, supported by the British killed the Tsar who at that time controlled the oil. In return Rothschilds and Warbergs etc recieved the Balfour Declaration. From that point on the world went to hell. Capitalism and Christianity cannot not survive without war and destruction.
