This is to everyone here. I'm not trying to be offensive here, but you all seriously need to get a grip on reality! The fact is that these bombings happened over 50 years ago. Can't we all just forgive each other and our ancestors for the events of World War II (that includes incidents on every country's part) and move on with the future?! For us newer generations at least, there is nothing we could have done or can do to change whats happened; but we can accept the past and move on. Lets forgive, but NOT forget, and make the future a better place by learning from those events whether they have turned out in the end to be "right" or "wrong". Come on, the future is waiting on us, lets face it head-on instead of shrinking from it because of our past!!
Ironic you should say that on a thread that's been dormant for over three years.
