(Edited to change title- was obscure)

If we forget the Devastation- we are bound to repeat it.


Dear Senator, Japan is a country separate from the nearby continent by a body of water- therefore much of the devastation was contained.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki-

These are not from a hack website- These are from the National Security Archive.

And this Dear Senator, is the exact type of victim that you would cause us to have.

Une enfant de Nagasaki tenant en main une pelotte de riz. Plutôt que la couleur du sang, l'odeur de la poussière et de la mort, une seule image en noir et blanc résume tout le désespoir d'un peuple. Qui entend son appel ? Document de Yosuki Yamahata. http://www.astrosurf.com/luxorion/histoire...

(Translation by babel- A child of Nagasaki holding in hand a rice pelotte. Rather than the color of blood, the odor of dust and death, only one image in black and white summarize all the despair of people. Who hears his call? Document of Yosuki Yamahata.)

Launching those WMD's against civilians is one of the greatest shames in our countries history, and you blithely state you would have no reservations at "Obliterating" a country.

I have no words to express how I'm feeling Senator, only my deep and heartfelt wish that you never are permitted into a position that will allow you to act in such a way.
