Yesterday was the day the atomic bomb dropped in Japan. Only realised it when I got back home from dinner and saw the documentary 'Hiroshima' on Discovery channel. It was heart-wrenching when it came to the part where the documentary talked about how the civilians suffered the pain and agony of radiation exposure. I almost feel like crying. Presently, there's only one sole survivor (eighty years old now) left who had witnessed the scene when the bomb dropped.

At the end of the documentary, asked if the bomb was really neccessary for the Japanese to surrender since the Americans knew very well that the Japanese had not eaten rice for a whole year, I guess there are lots of debate going over it until now.


I wish to see the world through eyes of Innocence...
