Obama thinks it appropriate to recognize Hiroshima: Clinton (AFP 8/5/10)	Permalink

http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5g3ikKw6yxtx1-I62rfvXlsGsbkNA Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Thursday that US President Barack Obama “thought it appropriate” to recognize Japan’s atomic bomb anniversary as he wants to rid the world of nuclear arms. The United States, 65 years after a mushroom cloud rose over Hiroshima, will for the first time send an envoy this Friday to commemorate the bombing that rang in the nuclear age. “President Obama is very committed to working toward a world without nuclear weapons,” even if he sees it as a “long-term goal,” Clinton told reporters when asked for comment on the anniversary. “I think that the Obama administration and President Obama himself believe that it would be appropriate for us to recognize this anniversary and has proceeded to do so,” she said. Note how Hillary is giving Bambi all the credit for this one. __________________ Nobody puts THIS baby in the corner!

Oh sheesh! Nice can of worms opened. Well, it was going to open one way or the other sooner or later especially since US has not apologized for it.. and without serious apology things like this do fester for generations. We shall see where this goes.
