Hiroshima Peace Site In keeping with today's "Japanese" theme, I thought it was appropriate to post some Hiroshima-related links, seeing that yesterday was 60 years since the US dropped the bomb.

Interesting photo gallery that features monuments, survivor portraits, and some objects... Article: "Hiroshima: Was It Necessary?" Short piece [via In These Times] about two recently published books that examined the history of atomic weapons: Hiroshima: The Falsehood Fallout" Poems For Two Voices (part of a project created by Middle and High School students of Hiroshima International School)
