Never ever argue with the ignorant. It's like teaching a pig to dance. You get all muddy and it annoys the pig.

You did know that Hiroshima and Nagasaki can't be lived in for still... an additional 250 years?

By the way, did I mention that Tancredo gave the islamofascists propaganda talking points?

(*Squawk!*)

Are you saying that the population of Nagasaki and Hiroshima is zero, and will be for another 250 years? Because I did some checking on the web, and that does not appear to be true:

Both cities were rebuilt soon after the war and have become important industrial centres. The population of Hiroshima has grown to over one million and that of Nagasaki to 440,000. Major industries in Hiroshima today are machinery, automotive (Mazda) and food processing, those in Nagasaki are associated with its international port, particularly Mitubishi Heavy Industries.

Nuclear energy has come to be an important part of the life of each city in a totally new way: today one quarter of Hiroshima's electricity is from nuclear power and half of that for Nagasaki is nuclear. Both cities are testimony to the positive benefits of a technological society which applies available energy resources to the needs of urban populations and industry.

I also found some tourism sites with info for visitors to both Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

If I misunderstood you I apologize, but I don't see how your statement can be interpreted any other way.
