The Smithsonian staff should bring in poster-sized pics of the Rape of
Nanking, chemical warfare-marred experimentation victims, the walking skeletons of the BurmarRailway and Bataan death march, and photo after photo of American marines lyin' face down and very dead in the water of every Pacific island from Guadicanal to Iwo Jima. And ask them what they think THEN. These assholes wouldn't even BE in the United States displaying the hatred for America if they weren't being supported by home-grown, America-hating, self-loathing, Democrat leftists. GOD BLESS THE ENOLA GAY; DEATH TO ANTI-AMERICAN FASCISTS! BroJack ___________ http://www.spacewar.com/2003/031215180300.070d1zot.html Grief overflows, anger flares as Hiroshima bomber goes on display CHANTILLY, Virginia (AFP) Dec 15, 2003 Grief overflowed and anger erupted Monday as aged Japanese survivors confronted the Enola Gay, the US warplane which unleashed the world's first atom bomb on Hiroshima in 1945. Six survivors and around 50 peace activists held up pictures of hideously burned victims among the tens of thousands killed or injured by the blast, as the restored and shiny silver Boeing B-29 Superfortress loomed overhead. The Enola Gay was put on display for the first time in one piece on opening day for a vast new annex to the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum, which also includes a just retired French Concorde and space shuttle prototype. One protestor threw a bag of paint at the aircraft, and was hauled away by police, though activists could not identify the man. It was not clear if the Enola Gay was damaged. The vigil stirred anger among some visitors to the museum, just under the flightpath of Dulles international airport outside Washington. "Remember Pearl Harbor" "Go home" "What about the Nanjing massacre?" several men shouted in references to the imperial Japanese army, as several scuffles broke out with activists. Other men, including several US war veterans, took part in animated arguments with peace activists. Several young Japanese visitors to the museum were overcome by emotion and in tears. "This is the second time I have seen the Enola Gay," said Hiroshima survivor Minoru Nishino, 71, who was two kilometres (miles) from the epicentre of the blast, and still bears scars from his burns. "The first time was on August 6, 1945, when I saw it flying high in the sky. "When I saw the Enola Gay today, I was overcome by anger." Another survivor, Tamiko Tomonaga, 74, said she had come to see the plane in memory of all those who died in the twin atom bombings at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, in the closing days of World War II. Survivors are disappointed the plane is being displayed with no reference to casualty figures at Hiroshima, which some estimates say reach 230,000 people, when those who died in later years of radiation poisoning are included. "We would not mind the plane going on display if they showed the tragedy they caused" Tomonaga, who was a Red Cross nurse at the time of the bombing said. The Enola Gay bears a label describing it as the "most sophisticated propeller-driven bomber of World War II." The text mentions the technological prowess of the aircraft and how it "found its niche on the other side of the globe." "On August 6, 1945, this Martin-built B-29-45-MO dropped the first atomic weapon used in combat on Hiroshima, Japan." As survivors and activists mounted their protest, some visitors to the museum reacted with anger, reflecting raw feelings left over the war, nearly 60 years after the United States and Japan made peace. "They (Japan) started the war by bombing our servicemen in Pearl Harbor, they should go and stand on the deck of the Arizona," said one man who refused to give his name, referring to a US ship sunk in the raid, now a memorial. Joe Lassals, in tears but unwilling to say why he was moved to come here, said, "I am thinking of all the American soldiers who were killed -- why don't they remember them?"

BroJack These people are a small minority and only an idiot or a racist would use that as a pretext to bad mouth an entire countrys population where not everyone has the same opinion. Why should the US have a poster of Nanking? Is Nanking in the US? How about a poster showing how the US did not let the China of today have any representation at the Tokyo War Crimes Trials? How the US relieved Japan of any and all responsibility in 1952 without the participation of the Chinese? Chemical Warfare programs? How about a poster showing how the United States buried the entire issue because it wanted the results for itself before the Soviets could get them? Photographs of dead soldiers? Sorry but the US does not have a world monopoly on them. Every other major country in the world knows what it's like to have its' cities bombed. Only the United States doesn't know what it's like. And you think that dead soliders in the sand constitutes the end all of human suffering in a war? The issue of the A-bombs exists only because it was the first use of a nuclear weapon in humanm history and it was used against civilian centers. If not for these two points, nobody would care, it would be just another part of war history. You can rant all you want, but your opinions would be at odds with the current CINC. |
