Hiroshima

I took these quotes from this article.

"Tadatoshi Akiba said Washington's apparent worship of "nuclear weapons as God" was threatening world peace."

Nuclear weapons keep America free, that's the bottom line. Nuclear weapons keep other countries from attacking us. If we destroyed all of our nuclear weapons today we would be attacked tomorrow, by the truly evil countries with nuclear weapons. Our might coupled with our good nature has kept the relative peace in the world for many years. Now that nuclear technology is becoming available to less "good natured" countries the world is becoming a more dangerous place again. The difference is, they want to use them, we don't.

Notwithstanding what our money says, America does not trust God. We trust more in our own might and our (so-called) allies. But the U.S. is not willing to keep God's commandments and doesn't want God telling us what to do, we do it our way. That requires nuclear weapons. We don't worship nuclear weapons, we just trust them more to keep us safe.


"During Wednesday's ceremony, Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi reaffirmed Japan's policy banning the production, possession and transport of nuclear weapons within its borders. "Our country's stance on this will not change," Koizumi said"

After North Korea lobs a few more missles over Japan, the countries stance on nuclear weapons will change. Watch it happen. Neither the Japanese nor the Koreans have forgotten their history together, and a horrifying history it has been. On both sides.

I've been to Hiroshima and I've tolled the peace bell they have there, but all the good intentions in the world will not protect us from the very real evil that is out there. There is some more interesting discussion of Hiroshima here.

I saw a documentary last night on Korea and it said the goal of North Korea has always been and still is to reunite the north with the South. The Korean war was an attempt by Kim Jung Il's father to do just that. Now Kim Jung Il's number one goal is the same. That's funny, because all he has to do is stand down his army and welcome his southern brothers and the prosperity that will follow. The documentary was on the Discovery channel and it wasn't very good really. It made Carter and Clinton out as saviors and said Bush came along and ruined the U.S./North korean relations.

Buried MIGs

You've probably heard this already but this article has some great pictures. Check them out.

Total Recall

The California recall election is turning into a circus. Now Gary Coleman is running. And Arnold Schwarzenegger, Arianna Huffington and Gallagher (the comedian) have all announced they will seek to replace Gov. Davis. Oh, don't forget Larry Flynt.

Race?

"Veteran black activist Al Sharpton contended Wednesday that the news media are dismissive of his presidential campaign because newsrooms are overwhelmingly white."

Oh really! There are alot of reasons not to take Al Sharpton seriously. Alot of reasons, but none of them have anything to do with the color of his skin. Why not Don King for President?
