Why not simply include the wanted information in the exhibit ? It seams like
a small request to me.
It is after all true that 100+ thousand humans died because of this
plane/bomb.

Is history now politically uncorrect in the US ?


And then another group wants a sign saying the bombing ended the war, another
group wants a sign saying the bombing wasn't needed, another group will want a
sign saying there are still people suffering from radiation related
injuries...etc..etc..etc...

--------------------

So, go ahead and expand the exhibit statistics with the sign stating that
108,000 died at Hiroshima as a result of the Enola Gay arriving with the
bomb.

As long as in Japan they put up an exhibit with a Zero, a rising sun flag
and a Samurai sword with an sign showing:

China: 12,000,000 dead
Pearl Harbor: 2,400 dead
The Philippines: 100,000 dead (civilian)
The Philippines: 44,000 dead (U.S. and Filipino combat dead & POWs)
Burma, Malaya, Korea, Viet Nam, Thailand: hundreds of thousands
Melanesia: hundreds

Had it not been for those deaths at the hands of the Japanese, there would
have been no Hiroshima.
