Between Hiroshima Japan 6 August, Nagasaki 9 August and the NY
11 September!
Japan lit its candles of pure,"noble sadness" on the 60th
anniversary of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The mayor of the late
city, Iccho Itoh, criticized the USA for dropping the first
atomic bomb in Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 and following that
after 3 days by the second atomic bomb which attacked Nagasaki.
The two bombs harvested the lives of more than 242,437 people to
end the Second World War by the surrender of Japan.
Iccho Itoh, urged the United States to stop the recent new
nuclear policy and made an angry appeal for a global ban on
nuclear weapons.
He made gestures towards the International peace by asking if
the United States security has enhanced by maintaining 10,000
nuclear weapons, and carrying out repeated sub-critical nuclear
tests and pursuing the development of new mini-nuclear weapons!
I thought what he tries to convey, is a deep part of the
"Bushing" new administration policy, to force out the "New
American Time". This new American time plays the first role in
the "New World Order" after the break-down of the Socialist
System and the Eastern Block.
The deep sorrow and sadness of the American people which we
share in other parts of this World, in regards to the September
11th horror, plays a mobilized factor to determine the future of
peace on this Earth nowadays.
That's what makes the mayor of Nagasaki's words about the 9-11
attacks more understandable when he said and aimed particularly
at Washington: "We understand your anger and anxiety over the
memories of the horror of the 9-11 terrorist attacks."
But this result leaves an urgent question in the collective
memory of those who do love peace: Is Bush's Second Term! A
Chance for More Wars or A Stable Peace?
If the sour feelings of the invasion of Iraq is still sour, then
the answer will never come to be predictably "optimistic"!
Not the political powers, but the people who should really stop
the crisis.
