August 6th, 1945 ; Atomic bomb is dropped on Hiroshima

Intresting that your brought up the use of Atomic Weapons laste week. Today is Hiroshima Day. Pitty the left will totally forget the advent of Nuclear weapons probably prevented the Cold War from turning into a shooting World War IV and saved MILLIONS of Japaneses lives.

Yeah.  I actually get a little concerned on significant dates like this one.  The Jihadists are fond of doing things on dates that have some meaning, to them or to us.  That's one of the reasons so many people have looked so hard for the significance of the August 22nd date that Iran said they were going to provide their response to Western demands about their nuclear program.  The best info I've found on that is that, this year, that date lines up with the Muslim calendar so that it marks when Saladin conquered Jerusalem and took it from the Christian Crusaders.

If Al Qaeda has a nuke they'd use a date like that, or today, to unleash it on us.  Imagine the rationalization by the left if someone set off a nuke in Washington today and then said it was in revenge for us having nuked Hirshima.
